Liverpool are likely to miss out on Osimhen after Chelsea have a killer move ready to snatch him up to join the team.

Liverpool reportedly interest in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen but they face a more lucrative offer from Chelsea.

Could in for a blow if they sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as Premier League rivals Chelsea prepare to offer Romelu Lukaku in a bid. That could see the Azzurri interested.

The Blues’ giant striker has two years remaining on his contract. After signing a new deal in 2021 for a club-record £97.5m. But his declining form and age mean. He is now value at just £30m.

Meanwhile, Antonio Conte’s Napoli set to sell Osimhen to pave the way for a rebuild this summer, with Liverpool among the clubs linked with a move for the Nigerian forward.

The Nigerian striker scored the winner as his side drew 1-1 with Udinese to secure the Scudetto they had been waiting for 33 years, since the late Diego Maradona led them to victory.

With his hot form throughout the season, Osimhen has link with moves to giants Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.

“ In what way do I feel like I have ufabet https://ufabet999.app improved in Serie A ? I will always be grateful for this league , for this competition. As I always say, I am learning the position as a striker and with Napoli it was good straight away. I feel like I have improved a lot, especially with [ Luciano ] Spalletti and his coaching staff. They gave me the confidence to grow and score goals. ”

However, with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis demanding around €130m (£110m) for Osimhen, interested clubs such as PSG have call off talks, and Arne Slot’s Reds are likely to pull out of the race as the asking price is too high for them to pay.

As Chelsea know Conte wants to work with Lukaku again. They may take advantage of this and make an offer plus cash. Before the window closes.
