Napoli has reportedly lowered their asking price for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to £85 million, according to Calcio Mercato. The Italian club initially set a £100 million release clause but is now open to proposals in the region of £85 million as they seek to cash in on the striker during the summer transfer window.
Despite no offers having been made for Osimhen thus far, Napoli’s decision to lower the asking price may attract interest from potential suitors, such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, PSG, and clubs in Saudi Arabia.
Several clubs, including Arsenal, had distanced themselves from meeting this high release clause, hoping to negotiate a lower fee. London rivals Chelsea were also interested but have reportedly backed off due to financial constraints.
According to Calcio Mercato, Napoli still haven’t received any offers for Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, and are now willing to listen to proposals in the region of around £85m instead of the initial £100m release clause as they look to cash in on the striker this summer.
Other reports in Italy state that the Serie A side would agree to a player-swap deal with Manchester United, which will see Mason Greenwood join the former Serie A champions, with Osimhen heading in the opposite direction.
