Indeed, Liverpool also have Darwin Nunez to lead their line, but given his form throughout the 2024-25 campaign and his recent links with an exit, he’s hardly reliable.

“The English club wants Osimhen and Napoli from this point of view does not make any discounts on the clause, therefore asking for €75m as per the contract,” he said on Radio Kiss Kiss as summarised by Area Napoli.

“The sporting director of the Neapolitan club, Giovanni Manna, has tried to ask for information for the two Reds forwards, namely Darwin Nunez and the Italian former Juventus player Federico Chiesa.

“Liverpool would have opened up to Napoli by proposing an equal exchange between the players involved in this operation.

“Aurelio De Laurentiis, however, has other ideas and is not listening: the president of the blue club is asking for Chiesa, Nunez and €20m for Osimhen’s registration.”

Osimhen has been one of the most talked-about strikers over the last few years.

This summer, Osimhen has been linked with a Liverpool move, with Al-Hilal also rumoured to be interested.

Although Liverpool wouldn’t be able to offer him as much as Galatasaray or Al-Hilal, the fact that they’ll be challenging for every possible competition is likely enough to tempt him to move.

And, the fact that Antonio Conte wants both Chiesa and Nunez means that a deal could end up being struck.

Granted, both players and €20million (£17.1million) seems a tad excessive, but if a deal for Nunez and some money can be agreed upon, it feels like that would be a good move for both parties.
