Super Eagles international striker Victor Osimhem is being regarded as a capable replacement for Liverpool’s want-away Senegalese striker Sadio Mane from Anfield.
The African Footballer of the Year has been strongly linked with a move away from Anfield with the possibility of teaming up with either Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich with words rife that Liverpool have put on him a price tag of around £42.5million.
Incidentally, there have been speculations that a host of English Premier League sides including Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle are on the trail for the Napoli’s Nigeria forward Osimhen as the wheeling and dealing in the summer transfer windows get underway.
But Italian legend and former Juventus striker Christian Vieri has urged Liverpool to snap up Osimhen as a replacement for Mane
“If I were Liverpool, I would go and take Osimhen from Napoli. Everyone runs in Klopp’s squad, they go a thousand miles an hour,” Vieri was quoted as saying by Sport Witness.“ He would be perfect.”
Incidentally, Napoli have revealed that they will stop listening to bids for Victor Osimhen from the 8th
July after placing about €100million tag on him.
According to MondoNapoli, the Partenopeans are looking to close the door early on bids for Osimhen, as they have revealed that Napoli will stop listening to offers for Osimhen from the 8th of July.
Asides from it being a way to keep Osimhen at the club for at least another year, it would also ensure stability and prevent distractions in the team ahead of the new season, which begins in August.
Osimhen is one of the most sought-after assets in Europe at the moment, following his brilliant returns of 18 goals and six assists in 32 games for the Partenopeans.
