Victor Osimhen has been on an absolute tear since joining Napoli in 2020. In 111 games he's scored 65 goals, with an impressive 31 in 39 games last season. As a result, some of the biggest clubs in Europe are interested in his services - including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
Recently, reports from Italy suggested that he had already come to an agreement with Liverpool. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has since said this is not true. Speaking to Caught Offside, Romano said: "Chelsea are still keeping an eye on Osimhen, but despite some media reports in Italy stating that he’s agreed a contract with Liverpool, my understanding is that he hasn’t agreed anything with any club."
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis had hoped for Osimhen to extend his contract with the club beyond 2025, but now it appears as though that won't be the case. "I have never been unhappy towards Osimhen, but there are always two of us in these things," said De Laurentiis. "I have remained the same, if his mood has changed [over a new deal] I can’t do anything about it."
The 24-year-old is one of the most sought-after talents in world football, and will attract an enormous price tag if he is sold next year. He is yet to agree any deal with any club, so it is still anyone's guess as to where he will end up. But one thing is clear - Victor Osimhen is a top talent that is sure to have many eyes on him in the upcoming transfer window.
