Liverpool’s hopes of landing Victor Osimhen appear to be fading, and the implications for Arne Slot could extend beyond a missed marquee signing.

However, Napoli’s firm stance on the €75 million ($88 million/£65 million) asking price, coupled with recent reports that Al-Hilal have matched the valuation in two instalments, makes it increasingly unlikely that Liverpool will enter the race.

Galatasaray remains in talks but have yet to meet Napoli’s demand regarding payment structure.

Al-Hilal had earlier made an approach for Osimhen this summer, reportedly offering a staggering contract worth €30 million ($35 million/£26 million) per season.

With Darwin Nunez set to leave Anfield this summer, the need for a reliable, elite-level striker remains a key priority.

It's also worth noting Napoli is believed to be eager to sign Nunez this summer, and offloading Osimhen would give the Italian champions the financial muscle needed to launch a move.
