Liverpool has conducted a private meeting regarding their £63 million target, as he plans to reduce his wages in light of an anticipated decision.
Reports suggest that Liverpool has conducted a private meeting about signing a £63 million striker, who is expected to be their most likely target this summer.
The Reds have been active in the transfer market lately, as club officials are keen to secure their top targets early. Following Arne Slot’s successful debut season at Anfield, where Liverpool clinched the Premier League title with four matches remaining, FSG has been able to plan ahead. They have already added Jeremie Frimpong and Armin Pecsi to their squad.
Liverpool is also working to finalize deals for Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz. Once those transfers are settled, they will likely shift their focus to acquiring a new striker. Although the team has a wealth of attacking options, an upgrade at the No. 9 position is needed, particularly as Darwin Nunez’s role has diminished and he may be set to leave this summer.
The club has been linked with multiple striker options, including Hugo Ekitike, Victor Osimhen, and Goncalo Ramos. Osimhen, who recently declined a move to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, remains available. Previously, Napoli was unwilling to let him go, but recent changes indicate they are now open to selling.
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain were interested in Osimhen but couldn’t reach an agreement with Napoli, leading him to join Galatasaray on loan. As a top contender for this year’s European scoring title, his loan was initially thought to be temporary, but rejecting Al-Hilal has opened the door for a permanent move.
Liverpool might try to secure Osimhen, as reports from GiveMeSport state that they have discussed signing him for around £63 million this summer. While his wage demands could be a significant obstacle, he might consider lowering them to pursue a challenge at a higher level.
Despite their interest, Liverpool recognizes that Galatasaray is currently his most likely destination, with expectations that he will sign with them permanently.
