Napoli are believed to have inserted a £75m release clause into the striker’s contract, so Liverpool will have to be prepared to spend big to get the deal done this summer, but part of that figure will be accounted for by Nunez’s sale offset.
Osimhen could be a huge upgrade over Nunez
Although the Uruguay international showed occasional signs of promise, scoring 11 Premier League goals last season, it’s fair to say he failed to live up to his £85m price tag.

The former Lille man will face stiff competition this summer, but considering Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League and Champions League, they certainly have a good chance of winning his signature.
The Reds should therefore consider selling Nunez to raise some transfer funds before positioning themselves ahead of Osimhen’s squad this summer.
