Liverpool offered Victor Osimhen

Reports in Italy claim Liverpool have been offered Victor Osimhen. Not simply told they can have him, either - the deal has been laid out.

Journalist Valter Di Maggio makes the claim, talking to Radio Kiss Kiss (as related by Area Napoli).

“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," says Di Maggio.

“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.”

So there's the twist here. In order to sign Osimhen, Liverpool must give them Chiesa, Nunez and around £17m. Which is an awful lot.
