According to news from Sky Sportsand despite the fact that Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has already made it public to declare that he is not available to negotiate the Nigerian star Victor Osimhen below 110 million euros, Newcastle will go ahead with a substantial proposal to try to take the top scorer out of the Stadium Diego Armando Maradona.
The ‘magpies’, as we know, were acquired in October 2021 by the billionaire Saudi consortium led by chief executive Yasir Al-Rumayyan, and have already demonstrated all their new financial power in the transfer window last January, as they were the club Premier League player who spent the most money on signings.
The 23-year-old striker, linked to Napoli until 2025, has scored 15 goals in 23 games for his country and, last season, with the Neapolitansin 32 games, he scored 18 goals and made two assists.
It is recalled that Napoli signed Osimhen from Lille in 2020/21 for an already impressive €75M and that the Nigerian has also been linked to the potential interest of other Premier League clubs, such as Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal, which, however, he signed Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City for €50M.
