Famous journalist Sacha Tavolleri disclosed that Liverpool will discuss their bid to sign the player, but Napoli want as much as €150m (£130m) for the 24-year-old superstar.

Rousing The Cop reports that such a figure would break Liverpool’s current spending record as well as the Premier League record set by Chelsea in January for Enzo Fernandez.

Jurgen Klopp’s side is already stacked up in the attack, and interest in Osimhen could soon vanish.

Although signing the Nigerian forward would be an incredible transfer, the finances and the forward’s actual position means that a deal would not make sense despite his obvious abilities.
