Report: Napoli advance talks for Liverpool star after failing to convince Osimhen

Napoli are reportedly advancing in talks for Darwin Nunez, as they are keen on making the Liverpool man their new striker for next season. The story comes about after reports that they failed in their attempt to convince Victor Osimhen to return to the fold. 

After another underwhelming season at Anfield, in which the Uruguayan was relegated to an ancillary role, he is now expected to leave the club. 

Liverpool are amenable to selling, according to reports, and Napoli are his biggest admirer on the market. According to Fabrizio Romano, they are still negotiating with Liverpool but are still some way from meeting the Reds' demands. 

Alternatively, they have lined up the signing of Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca, who scored 12 goals in Serie A last season, two shy of Napoli's current top scorer, Romelu Lukaku. 

As Pulse Sports relayed, the Partenopei attempted to repair their broken relationship with Victor Osimhen as they convinced him to continue at the club.

However, the Nigerian has now agreed to personal terms with Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Lig, and is set to return to the club he spent on loan at last season, contingent on an agreement on the transfer fee.
