Serie A giants Napoli have reportedly identified transfer targets in case Newcastle United target Victor Osimhen leaves in the summer.
The Nigerian hotshot’s impressive form in Naples has attracted the interest of the likes of Newcastle, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham, according to The Express .
The 23-year-old is spearheading Luciano Spalletti side’s title bid as they engage in a three-horse battle with Milan giants Inter and AC.
Valued at more than £100m, Osimhen has 15 goals to his name this season but he missed several games after fracturing his cheekbone in November.
With world class strikers seemingly hard to come by, Osimhen is guaranteed to be a man in high demand in the summer window.
Napoli planning for like without Victor Osimhen?
Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla claims that Napoli are preparing for a ‘super offer’ for their number nine.
With enquiries likely to mount for the former Lille man, Napoli are eyeing up potential replacements.
Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca who has 13 Serie A goals to his name this season was initially earmarked as a potential signing, but with both Milan clubs reportedly ahead of Napoli in the chase for the 23-year-old, attentions have turned to the Premier League.
Pedulla claims that Napoli like Chelsea striker Armando Broja who has been on loan at Southampton this season.
The Albanian international has nine goals to his name this season, but with a contract at Stamford Bridge until 2026, Pedulla claims that it would take an offer in excess of £30million to convince the Blues to part ways with the 20-year-old.
It’s going to take a monumental offer to convince Napoli to part ways with their prized asset Victor Osimhen.
But with the Serie A giants reportedly earmarking potential replacements, a blockbuster summer move to the Premier League cannot be ruled out.
