Liverpool has reportedly opened a dialogue with Napoli over signing Osimhen, with the possibility of a swap dealing involving Darwin Nunez and/or Federico Chiesa mooted.

Osimhen is said to be eager to play for a club that is competing in the Champions League and he is open to moving to Liverpool, but his salary demands could be an issue.

The Nigerian is reported to want his Napoli salary matched at whichever club he joins; Osimhen is believed to net around $11.5 million with the Serie A club, with his gross salary close to double that amount.

Liverpool could be in the market for a new striker as the Reds aim to replace Darwin Nunez, who is the subject of interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Italy, as well as Atletico Madrid.

Darwin Nunez is expected to leave Liverpool

The interest from Saudi Arabia remains, while Atletico, Napoli and AC Milan are also being linked with the 25-year-old

It's claimed that Napoli has made a verbal offer of around €43 million ($50 million) for Nunez, with Napoli said to be keen to provide support to Romelu Lukaku in its front line, and that reported bid is not far away from Liverpool's reported €50 million ($58 million) valuation of the player

Foot Italia reports that Nunez has no intention of moving to Saudi Arabia, as he wants to remain playing at a high level in Europe.

Napoli boss Antonio Conte is said to be a fan of Nunez and believes he has a higher chance of realizing his potential away from the Premier League.
