Goodbye Mané, Liverpool have already found the perfect replacement, cost 100 million

With a career that started in the 2016-2017 season and reached stardom during the year 2021 and 2022 in Italy, the Nigerian-born striker, Victor Osimhen, has already been visualized by Liverpool, a team that despite having today a good offensive trident with Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Darwin Nunez, wants to include one more element that fulfills that function of putting pressure on the attackers and let them know that their place in the starting eleven is not guaranteed.

The experience that the red team of Merseyside has with offensive players of African origin has left a pleasant taste in the mouth after having Sadio Mané as one of the top players in previous seasons. Now the Napoli-based player could see his departure from Italy and arrive in England to eventually fulfill the role of goal scorer that Darwin Núñez is currently pursuing.

This is love for the shirt, what Sadio Mané would do to return to Liverpool

It is known through "la gazzetta dello sport" that the owner of the Neapolitan team, Aurelio De Laurentiis, could put his player up for sale at a value of around 100 million euros, a price that in England translates into about 88 million pounds sterling. With his high cost being an impediment to Liverpool's ability to land him, perhaps the clearance of players will help raise a percentage that will make them go for the Nigerian at some point.

This rumored signing doesn't make much sense considering how well Liverpool's strikers have performed over the last six weeks, with Roberto Firmino's almost imminent renewal being another obstacle to Victor Osimhen not being able to fit in at Anfield.  Perhaps the Reds are thinking ahead and see the Gli Azzurri attacker as a guarantee to continue with a competitive player if in the not too distant future Firmino, due to his age, has to leave the institution.

<strong>Liverpool want Osimhen</strong>

Since his arrival at Napoli, Osimhen has been a fairly regular striker, scoring 38 goals in almost 80 games as a Napoli player, averaging a goal every two games and still well below the numbers that Nuñez scored when he was a Benfica player, who only in his last season managed to score almost a goal per game.
