Napoli are reportedly contemplating reducing their asking price for Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian international currently has a €150 million release clause in his contract, which has allegedly deterred potential buyers.
Calciomercato reported on Monday, June 24, that Napoli may lower their initial valuation to €100 million.
The move aims to free up essential transfer funds for new manager Antonio Conte, who is eager to sign Belgian international striker Romelu Lukaku this summer.
Clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain have shown interest in the past, and might reignite their interest should Osimhen’s asking wage be reduced.
Regarded as one of the best strikers in the world, the 25-year-old is known for his elite finishing, pace, strength and athleticism.
Osimhen began his senior career in Germany at VfL Wolfsburg in 2017.
Following a season and a half at the club, he moved to Belgian side Charleroi on loan in 2018–19, before moving to Ligue 1 with Lille, scoring eighteen goals in his sole season with the French club.
In 2020, Osimhen transferred to Serie A side Napoli for a club-record fee of €70 million.
