Liverpool Nears Swap Deal with Napoli for Striker Osimhen

Liverpool is actively reshaping its squad this summer under manager Arne Slot, targeting major signings and potential key departures. The club is in advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen for the transfer of Jarell Quansah, following recent deals for Jeremie Frimpong and the impending signing of Florian Wirtz, whose wages fit within Liverpool's structure. Liverpool is also pursuing a high-profile swap deal with Napoli to acquire Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, offering Darwin Núñez and Federico Chiesa in exchange; both players have reportedly agreed to join Napoli pending Osimhen's approval. Osimhen, who had a prolific loan spell at Galatasaray, is seen as a crucial addition to bolster Liverpool's attacking options, especially to support Mohamed Salah. The swap deal is in its final stages with clubs negotiating registration costs and awaiting Osimhen's consent, highlighting Liverpool's intent to balance their squad after recent signings and anticipated departures. This transfer activity underscores Liverpool's ambition to maintain competitive strength following their recent Premier League title win.
