Fee ‘shouldn’t be a problem’ as Liverpool compete for €80m forward

Liverpool are set to compete with Napoli for the signing of Lille forward Victor Osimhen, according to reports in France.

Osimhen has attracted interest throughout Europe after scoring 18 goals in 38 appearances during his breakthrough season in France.

The 21-year-old sat joint-fourth in the Ligue Un goalscoring charts, level with Neymar, before the season was curtailed due to the global pandemic.

Osimhen had impressed enough to be named as a ‘priority’ target for Man Utd this summer, while Inter Milan are among the continental clubs keeping a watchful eye on developments.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham have all also been linked with a reported £75m bid received for the Nigeria international in recent months.

There have been rumours in France recently that Napoli have tabled a €80m (£72.2m) offer for Osimhen but people close to the Serie A side reckon it’s much nearer €40m.

And nowL’Equipe (via Sport Witness) claims that Jurgen Klopp is ‘very interested’ in signing Osimhen although the report doesn’t say that Liverpool have made a bid yet.

The French publication adds that the fee for the Nigeria international ‘shouldn’t be a problem’ for Liverpool despite Klopp saying yesterday that he cannot spend “millions and millions” on squad reinforcements.

Is football a contact sport or not??

I think there is a big diff between "semedo didn't mean to" and "semedo didn't even make a tackle".

No tackle was made but a penalty was given, explain something to me bro.

The contact is the main thing here, carassco was already on the run and away from semedo at his back
Tackle or not, Carassco was on his way to score and he was tripped even though it was an accident

Blueelf:
In fact, I think I will take your advice....

I just hope we add insult to injury by beating them at home. I know they will be out for blood

happy birthday brother

Na only for Nairaland we know these ones as actresses

We'll know if truly Edo is not Lagos

simiife:
Semedo was chasing carrasco and in the process, carrasco back foot slightly hit semedo's knee,semedo didn't even make a tackle and that is a penalty to u.

Is football not a contact sport.

It's a penalty
The contact halted his movement, it was significant enough even though semedo didn't mean to

JorgedeToledo:
If you watch the replay more closely, you will discover that Semedo's knee made contact with the trailing foot of Carrasco. This unsettled and made Carrasco trip himself. So in my opinion, that's a penalty.

You're right there was contact

nawa o the ref that officiated Atletico vs Barcelona didn't check VAR ni?

just saw the second Atletico penalty and it looked like no one touched him, he tripped

Lol
E go shock you

Mallorca beat Celta Vigo 5-1

TheLoneCitizen:
Haaland stats are way better, in fact he has some of the best stats in the world currently, but he doesn't have enough games yet. To buttress, Haaland has very similar stats to ex-dortmund striker Paco Alcacer who had 18 goals in 11 starts compared to Haaland's 13 in 11. Paco Alcacer had the best stats that time.

When Osimhen plays for Napoli who are at the same level with Dortmund, we'll compare with Haaland's first full season. Goals are great but there are other aspects of games that makes one a complete player.

baba at the end of the day goals are the main thing, the rest are just add ons

Utonwanne:
The argument is about being good,,,,it's of being better

Even Lewin will disagree with you

I never said Lewin is better, you guys are making it seem as though the guy is not good abi what does saying "Lewin na Osimhen throwback" imply?

This one touch me
I reject it in my life
goddamn!

Utonwanne:
You know why..... What is the 'why'?

I've watched him play and his stats speak for him
why is he not good?

Greenwood starts
Ighalo on the bench

Blueelf:

Where is the source ?

Utonwanne:
Others might be debatable but as for Calvert-Lewin, Osimhen Better pass him. Wtf is Lewin to begin with?

Lewin good my guy, I no know why una dey write am off

Arabiandude:
Is Calvert Lewin whom I believe you have watched upto Osimhen left foot?

of course not

Lewin has only scored the same number of league goals as Osimhen in less minutes played in the Premier league for a team that is not in the top 10 table

He's not up to Osimhen's left foot bro

Subzero047:
Barca vs Athletico Madrid today

Another L for Barca loading

LMFAO

All I know is that Barca are not leaving with 3points today, even if they don't lose dem go draw

Bright Osayi with an assist less than 1min into the game

Calvert lewin is not up to Osimhen

Tammy Abraham is Osimhen's throwback

Osimhen is a more complete striker than Haaland


Chris Rock dey learn work for where una dey sha

TheLoneCitizen:
Fotomac reporting that Galatasaray want Onyekuru so desperately that they have offered Belhanda for a swap. It also reports that Onyekuru doesn't want to leave the club. Belhanda is Gala's top creator.

The charm wey Onyekuru dey use for Gala strong o, that they're willing to release their top creator

They believe in the lad
