Inter Milan legend Christian Vieri has urged Liverpool to sign Napoli midfielder Victor Osimhen as a possible replacement for Sadio Mane. Recently he has been linked with a move away from Anfield, with Bayern Munich a possible target.
Osimhen is no stranger to transfer rumors as the Nigerian has been linked with several European clubs ahead of next season.
Osimhen had a fantastic season with Napoli in 2021/22, scoring 18 goals in 32 games in all competitions. Last season, the 23-year-old was named Italy's Serie A Most Valuable Player for Under-23s by the Nigeria international and was one of Europe's most sought-after strikers ahead of the transfer window, with Arsenal leading the race.
Watch Osimhen's top highlights:
Vieri believes Osimhen's style fits that of the Premier League club and has urged the Reds to sign the Nigerian as Mane's replacement, according to calcionapoli24.it, an Italian publication.
"I will bring Osimhen from Napoli if I'm a top official in Liverpool," said the Italian legend.
Everyone on Klopp's team runs at a thousand miles an hour. That would be ideal. Osimhen's contract expires on June 30, 2025, but Napoli are said to be open to offers of more than 110 million euros.
