Osimhen has been in the transfer news for months now with Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Chelsea ready to break the bank.

But according to Ficjajes, an Italian news blog, Liverpool and Real Madrid have also joined the queue of clubs that will pull all the strings to win the race for the 24-year-old signature.

Liverpool could be open to letting Egyptian talisman Mohamed Salah depart Anfield, as the Reds continue a revamp of an attack that waved bye to Sadio Mane and welcomed Darwin Nunez last summer. 

For Real Madrid, the search for a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema has begun with the 35-year-old Frenchman approaching the twilight of an incredible career. 

The Nigeria international this season has scored 17 goals in 18 league games topping the league scorers chat.
