Victor Osimhen remains a target for Arsenal, but they are unable to pay his €120 million release clause, which is set by Napoli.
A release clause was added by Napoli to protect Osimhen’s market value since they believe he will be in high demand this summer and he is still considered one of the best attackers in Europe.
Now that he and Napoli have reached an agreement on his departure terms, the striker is biding his time for interested parties to approach him.
Arsenal is in search of a new striker, viewing Osimhen as a strong candidate after their failed attempt to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
However, according to a report on Calcio Napoli24, Arsenal has no intention of paying the full release clause. They are prepared to offer €75m to secure the former Lille striker.
This amount represents their maximum offer, and it is presented as a take-it-or-leave-it proposition to Napoli.
Osimhen is one of the finest strikers in the market at the moment, and the Nigerian star is likely to leave Napoli this summer.
He is more prolific than our current options and will add more goals to our game, but he is not worth €120m, and we should not be bullied into paying that much for him.
