Victor Osimhen’s current situation at Napoli has opened the door to many market rumours, and now it’s time to see Newcastle United linked to him.
The information comes from Sport Italia. And before getting into this, we must say it’s not weird that the Magpies, who are one of the biggest players in the market, could be after such a star. What is the strange is the formula mentioned in the story.
The outlet starts by claiming Newcastle ‘immediately target’ Osimhen for the January window, and could actually try a ‘crazy exchange’ to make the transfer happen.
It’s stated that the Magpies would like to reach £65m for Osimhen and include Alexander Isak in the deal.
Even though Napoli are not that keen on selling Osimhen in the middle of the season, this ‘super’ offer from Newcastle could make their president Aurelio De Laurentiis ‘waver’, as he’d have the immediate replacement on the way and still pocket €65m.
Isak has been proving to be a great signing for the Magpies since his arrival, already having four goals scored this season.
It’s weird to even think of him leaving the club in his second year there, especially getting involved in a swap like this. So let’s just sit and see how this rumour will develop.
