Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has concluded that a €100 million deal would secure Victor Osimhen.
Victor Osimhen was proclaimed open to a move to the Premier League a month ago.
The Nigerian's agents were "given the green light" to pitch him to English teams, with reports claiming that he only wants to play for teams that can offer Champions League football.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli president De Laurentis has told Liverpool and Bayern Munich that they must spend £86 million (€100 million) to sign Osimhen.
Osimhen, 23, is a courageous player whose passion and ability to score goals would not likely appeal to Liverpool. The Reds are poised to lose both Divock Origi and Sadio Mane this summer, and both provide Jurgen Klopp with a physical presence in the box and the potential to play a direct style of play.
Last season, the former Ligue 1 striker started 26 games in all competitions for Napoli, scoring 24 goals (18 goals and 6 assists).
Incredible skills from Victor Osimhen:
So far, the 21-cap international has 10 goals and 6 assists for Nigeria. He missed the AFCON due to injury and will not play in this year's World Cup because the Super Eagles failed to qualify.
Osimhen can provide Liverpool with a route to goal that few others can. He has the ability to bully opponents and push them to make errors that they would not make against a more subtle, nuanced attacker like Diogo Jota.
Meanwhile, Corriere dello Sport said that Manchester United had repeatedly requested information on a possible Osimhen transfer to Old Trafford.
Ronaldo was United's leading scorer last season, with 24 goals in all competitions. Following him, Fernandes found the net ten times.
Erik ten Hag cannot rely on a 37-year-old centre striker for goals next season, and the Dutch manager must buy a youngster like Osimhen.
