Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provides insight into Liverpool’s purported interest in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
Speculation has swirled about Liverpool’s pursuit of the Nigerian forward, but Romano sheds light on the current status of this transfer saga.
According to Romano,
Romano has been speaking in his latest YouTube video and claims,
“Some media is reporting that Victor Osimhen already agreed contract terms with Liverpool. Guys from what I’m told, Victor Osimhen hasn’t agreed anything with any club – not even with Napoli.
There’s no agreement on the contract extension. Napoli made a really important proposal to Osimhen, in terms of contract, very important salary, the biggest in Napoli history is on the table for Osimhen.
But he has not decided and he has not agreed anything with any club. So Osimhen will take his time. Reports of an agreement with Liverpool are not true.
For sure, Liverpool and many other clubs are keeping an eye on the situation of many strikers. But at the moment for Osimhen, nothing is agreed and nothing is decided.”
Contradicting Reports
Despite initial reports suggesting that Liverpool had reached an agreement on personal terms with the Napoli striker, Romano refutes these claims.
He asserts that such reports are unfounded, challenging the notion that an agreement is in place.
Osimhen’s Uncertain Future
Osimhen’s potential departure from Napoli is motivated by undisclosed internal issues, including a social media incident involving the club and the player’s agent considering legal action. This turmoil has intensified transfer speculations.
Klopp’s Striker Dilemma
While Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has expressed interest in bolstering his attacking options, it remains uncertain whether Osimhen fits the bill.
The Liverpool squad already boasts talents like Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, and Diogo Jota, raising questions about the necessity of pursuing the Napoli striker.
Osimhen to Liverpool?
Fabrizio Romano’s insights have cast doubt on Liverpool’s alleged agreement with Victor Osimhen. The situation is complicated by the striker’s uncertain future at Napoli, but Klopp’s squad depth may ultimately determine whether Liverpool pursues this deal.
As the transfer window unfolds, football fans worldwide eagerly await the final verdict on Osimhen’s potential move to Anfield.
