According to information from Flashscore, it is reported that Liverpool has joined the chase to sign Nigerian international Victor Osimhen as they look to boost their attacking options for the 2025/26 season.
Osimhen recently finished an incredible loan stint at Galatasaray, where he found the back of the net 37 times across all competitions, further establishing himself as one of the most dangerous strikers in Europe.
His tally from last season has added to an already impressive career total of 177 goals for both club and country.
The Reds’ interest comes amid growing speculation about the future of Uruguayan forward Darwin Núñez, who has been linked with moves to Napoli and several teams in the Saudi Pro League.
Liverpool is believed to be considering Osimhen as a potential key signing to lead their attack in the event that Núñez departs.
Osimhen’s rise to stardom has been marked by perseverance and growth.
After a standout performance at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup—where he earned the Golden Boot—he encountered difficulties during his time at Wolfsburg.
He then revitalized his career at Belgian side Sporting Charleroi, scoring 20 goals in a single season, which paved the way for his transfer to Lille in Ligue 1.

While at Lille, he added another 18 goals before securing a lucrative move to Napoli, where he netted 76 goals and won the Serie A title in 2023.
His spectacular form led to a high-profile loan to Galatasaray, and his displays in Turkey have once again drawn the interest of top clubs, including Manchester United, Al Hilal, and Galatasaray itself, which is said to be eager to sign him permanently.
On the international front, Osimhen has recorded 26 goals for Nigeria, putting him in a position to potentially eclipse Rashidi Yekini’s long-standing record as the country’s all-time leading scorer.
As the summer transfer window heats up, the Nigerian forward has emerged as one of the most sought-after strikers in world football, with his proven goal-scoring prowess making him a prime target for elite clubs across Europe and beyond.
