Liverpool are making serious moves for Napoli star Victor Osimhen.

The Reds are in talks with Osimhen's agent Robert Calenda.

That's according to local journalist Valter De Maggio, who told Televomero: “The parties had reached an agreement for the renewal, but then Calenda and Osimhen went back on their word.

"What happened? There was the inclusion of another club, from the Premier League. I'm talking about Liverpool. There would be frequent contacts, but I just learned something else: there would be agreements already reached.

"Let me clarify: the agreements would be between the Reds and the player, therefore they would not involve Napoli. I hope Laurentiis will be able to keep Victor Osimhen at least until June, but we can't be sure."

It's suggested Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis will see for around €140m.
