Liverpool Enter Race for Top Striker as Osimhen Emerges Amid Manchester United Interest

Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in the upcoming summer transfer window, despite strong interest from Manchester United.

With several Premier League clubs in search of prolific forwards, the Reds are also looking to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season.

Under the guidance of Arne Slot, Liverpool have enjoyed a highly successful campaign, clinching the Premier League title in his debut season. However, the centre-forward position remains an area for potential reinforcement. Darwin Núñez has struggled to impress under Slot, while Diogo Jota’s recurring injuries have raised concerns about his long-term reliability.

While Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield, financial demands from the Magpies may place the Swedish international beyond Liverpool’s reach. As a result, attention has now turned to Osimhen, who remains one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers.

According to talkSPORT, Liverpool are preparing to “splash the cash” this summer, with Slot and new sporting director Richard Hughes reportedly set to receive significant backing in the transfer market. The club aims to capitalise on their recent triumph and build a squad capable of sustained domestic and European success.

Osimhen, who has consistently delivered for Napoli, is seen as a viable and ambitious option to lead the Liverpool attack. His potential arrival could set up a high-stakes transfer battle with Manchester United as both clubs look to bolster their frontlines.
