‘We will sit down and talk’ - Napoli chief reveals the only way Osimhen can leave Galatasaray
Napoli Sporting Director Giovanni Manna has revealed the only condition that will make Victor Osimhen leave Galatasaray.
He has been linked with a number of top European clubs and even reportedly turned down Manchester United this month, preferring to complete his season-long loan deal at Galatasaray. The Red Devils' Northern rivals are now said to have entered the race, but their participation is contingent on a key factor.
The details
According to a report from BeinSports Turkey, Liverpool are gearing up for the possible exit of Darwin Nunez, who has failed to live up to his €85 million transfer fee.
The former Benfica man is said to have multiple interests from the Middle East and within Europe, and Liverpool will be prepared to let him go next summer.
The Reds reportedly identify Osimhen as an ideal replacement, and according to the report, will go for the Nigerian striker should they lose their Uruguayan forward next summer.
However, they will have to fend off Tel of their rivals Manchester United, who are expected to return for the Nigerian, and Chelsea, who came close to landing him last summer.
