The Reds could have the best striker in the world

Liverpool are continuing to unravel the mystery of what they can do in the transfer market for their striker. The Anfield outfit are keeping a number of fronts open, although their top priority is 24-year-old Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, a Napoli striker who came to shine last season (39 appearances, 31 goals). Liverpool are already working on the shape of their 2023-2024 squad. After a season with many grey areas in which they have never had a chance to win the Premier League, the squad led by Jürgen Klopp needs a series of improvements if they want to face the next season with guarantees.

Among the priorities that have been marked in red is the acquisition of a new attacking player who can provide a significant amount of goals. Darwin Núñez has not lived up to expectations and Roberto Firmino has packed his bags after the end of his contract, so the need is clear.

It is precisely here where a shining option of the first level appears. Specifically, and according to the information we can find on the front page of La Gazzetta dello Sport, it is Victor Osimhen. The Napoli striker has just completed a brilliant season in attack for the Vesuvius side, playing a key role in winning the third Serie A title in their history and attracting the interest of several of Europe's biggest clubs.

<strong>Those who are leaving</strong>

The 24-year-old Nigerian (31 goals and 5 assists in 39 appearances) has been valued at €180m by the Neapolitans, who have already rejected an offer of €100m from Paris Saint-Germain for him. Now, the aforementioned source suggests that Liverpool are currently leading the race for his signature and the striker himself is keen to land him at Anfield. As Osimen approaches Anfield, three players whose days are numbered at Liverpool are Fabio Carvalho, Harvey Elliot and Joe Gomez.
