Transfer: Real Madrid plots big-money move for Osimhen

European champions Real Madrid are preparing a big-money move for Napoli talisman Victor Osimhen, Calciomercato reports.

The La Liga champions consider the 23-year-old as the next suitable option after missing out on Kylian Mbappe last summer.

With 8 Serie A goals this season despite missing five weeks of action due to injury, the Super Eagle is on the verge of hitting double figures for a third consecutive season in Naples.

The ex-Lille attacker became the highest-scoring Nigerian in the history of Serie following his goal against Atalanta last weekend.

Osimhen has been on the radar of many European top clubs. The Nigerian international was heavily linked to the Premier League all summer with Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle United reportedly interested in the Napoli talisman.

Napoli president, Aurelio de Laurentiis has stressed that the Nigerian international will be sold for nothing less than €100m, as per Corriere dello Sport.
