Liverpool has made a big move in the summer transfer window, according to Teamtalk, by beginning talks with Napoli about a possible swap deal including club talents Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa in return for prolific scorer Victor Osimhen.
The Premier League winners are aiming to enhance their assault for next season, and they see Osimhen as a man who can lead their attack to new heights.
After seeing Darwin Nunez struggle, Arne Slot is ready to sign a new striker to join his attack next season and help Mohamed Salah share the weight of scoring goals at the club.
Darwin Nunez has interest from Serie A clubs.
Napoli and AC Milan are both interested in signing Nunez this summer, and the Reds hope to capitalize on Napoli’s interest in Nunez by signing striker Osimhen.
The Nigerian attacker, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, is set to leave the Serie A club permanently this summer.
The 26-year-old scored 37 goals for Galatasaray last season, demonstrating his ability at the highest level.

After winning the title, the Reds are now looking for a top-tier striker after acquiring Jeremie Frimpong.
Slot is near to finalizing the acquisitions of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, demonstrating his commitment to keeping Liverpool at the top of English football.
Osimhen is widely considered as one of the world’s best attackers, thanks to his combination of speed, strength, and precision finishing.
Early indications suggest Nunez and Chiesa could be part of a direct exchange for Osimhen.
The trade could circumvent Napoli’s €75 million (£63 million) release clause, but they still aim to recoup significant cash.
Osimhen’s camp has been approached personally and is believed to want a move to a Champions League team; nonetheless, Liverpool’s qualification for Europe’s premier league remains critical to the deal.
