Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool begin discussion with Osimhen
Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool will reportedly hold a meeting with the agents of Victor Osimhen in the next few days.
The three English giants are set to speak to the Nigerian’s representatives after it was claimed he has decided on a move to the Premier League.
Osimhen was the leading goal scorer in Serie A last season. He scored 26 goals in 32 appearances as Napoli won the Italian top flight for the first time in 33 years.
The 24-year-old has seen his stock rise dramatically heading into the summer window. He has quickly become one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe.
Paris Saint-Germain have been strongly linked with his signature, while Real Madrid are in the market for a striker following the departure of Karim Benzema. But it appears a move to England could be on the cards.

Belgian transfer reporter Sacha Tavolieri says meetings will be held with United, Chelsea and Liverpool in the coming days. He claims Osimhen wants to move to the Premier League and his future could become a lot clearer next week.
Tavolieri tweeted: “The file Victor #Osimhen will move on the market! #ManUnited, #ChelseaFC & #Liverpool have meetings planned with the entourage of the top scorer of #SerieA. Next week should define the intentions of his 3 clubs. The priority of #Osimhen is #PremierLeague.”
United are in the market for a striker, with Tottenham’s Harry Kane their top target. However, Spurs continue to be reluctant to sell the England skipper.
Kane is about to enter the final year of his contract at Spurs. The north Londoners’ stance means Erik ten Hag may have to look elsewhere.
