Interest is reportedly growing in striker Victor Osimhen, a player Liverpool has been heavily linked with in the past, most notably due to Michael Edwards' determination to sign him.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are all interested in the Napoli striker, who is currently on loan in Turkey with Galatasaray.

With his relationship with the Italian club having soured, it seems almost certain that Osimhen will make a permanent move sooner rather than later.

It’s claimed that the three clubs mentioned are all willing to pay the Nigeria international's $78million (£62m/€75m) release clause.

There is no mention of Liverpool, but the Reds have shown interest in the past.

Just a few months ago, Osimhen was being linked with a move to Anfield before he eventually secured his switch to Galatasaray - but Liverpool’s interest goes back even further than that.

Back in 2020, when Edwards was at the helm of Liverpool’s transfers, the Reds were said to have been in the running to sign Osimhen from Lille, where he had caught the eye with 18 goals in 38 appearances.

Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli though had other ideas.

According to his former collaborator Giandomenico Costi, Giuntoli took drastic measures in order to prevent Osimhen from getting the chance to speak to Liverpool.

Victor Osimhen is likely to be available for a permanent transfer soon.

Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo have played there, with the former impressing in there this season, but both are undoubtedly more suited to the left wing.

If Osimhen is available then, as it seems he inevitably will be, it could be worth Liverpool joining the cue of suitors - especially if they can pull a Napoli and prevent one of their Premier League rivals from signing him.
