Former Premier League champions Liverpool are reportedly plotting a January move for Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, according to reports from trusted media sources.
Osimhen’s future has been uncertain in recent months, with Napoli and Antonio Conte ruling him out of the squad.
The 25-year-old Nigerian international has attracted interest from top European clubs, including PSG, Arsenal, and Chelsea, following his impressive performances for Napoli.
However, a move failed to materialize due to wage demands and transfer fees.
Osimhen’s situation has taken a turn, with Napoli willing to accept a lesser fee than the initial €130 million.
Liverpool is reportedly keeping tabs on the striker, and a January move could be on the cards.

However, Osimhen would face competition from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota for playing time at Anfield.
The move would be a significant coup for Liverpool, given Osimhen’s talent and Napoli’s initial reluctance to sell.
Osimhen’s agent has remained tight-lipped about his client’s future, but the player’s desire to play regular football may force his hand.
With the transfer window open in leagues outside the top six, Osimhen may consider a short-term loan move to maintain his fitness and form.
The situation is fluid, and Osimhen’s next move remains uncertain. However, Liverpool’s interest adds a new dimension to the saga, and a January transfer could be a possibility.

Liverpool may have to contend with Chelsea and PSG who are reportedly still interested in the Nigerian forward with three days left until the French transfer deadline.
The Victor Osimhen saga continues to unfold, with Liverpool’s interest adding a new twist.
The transfer window approaches and Osimhen’s future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – he will not be short of suitors.
