According to the British press, the trio of strikers Vitor Osimhen, Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike have made Liverpool's shortlisted list when coach Arne Slot is looking for a replacement of Darwin Nunez.
Darwin Nunez scored only 5 goals in the Premier League last season. He did not meet the requirements of coach Arne Slot. Besides, Liverpool also realized that Nunez could not become the pillar of the club in the future.
Therefore, Liverpool is listening to all offers for the Uruguayan star. Nunez is likely to join Napoli or Atletico Madrid this summer.
Liverpool accepted to cut deep losses and only required partners to pay 40 million euros in this deal. Along with that, Liverpool also zoned the three strikers to replace Nunez, including Napoli's Victor Osimhen, Newcastle Alexander Isak and Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike.
In particular, Isak is considered the most difficult target because Choi Chu does not want to sell and the price is up to £ 150 million. This is the number that makes Liverpool almost give up. The most likely goal with Liverpool is Osimhen because the striker is determined to leave Napoli and have £ 63 million (75 million euros).
However, The Reds may judge to a lower fee because the Nigerian's leg has only 12 months. Moreover, Napoli also wants to sell Osimhen soon so everything may not be too difficult for the Premier League defending team.
Last season, Osimhen scored 37 goals in all competitions, helping Galatasaray to achieve the domestic title. Therefore, Liverpool will need to be quick in this deal.
Finally, Ekitike was allowed by Frankfurt to leave the club for 100 million euros. The number is too large for a striker who has failed in PSG and has just shone in Frankfurt. This is considered Liverpool's unwise investment if they accept the fee that the partner offers. Conversely, if Frankfurt goes to 50-60 million euros, Liverpool can recalculate.
Up to this point of the summer transfer period, Liverpool has brought a series of rookies including Giorgi Mamardashvili, Asiarmin Pécsi, Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Freddie Woodman. Of these, only Woodman came in a free form.
