Real Madrid Eyes Napoli’s Victor Osimhen as Potential Striking Solution

Victor Osimhen, widely regarded as one of the world’s top strikers, has drawn interest from Real Madrid amid doubts about his future at Napoli. Osimhen played a pivotal role in helping Napoli secure their first Serie A title since the era of Diego Maradona.

Despite the ongoing speculation surrounding his future, Osimhen has continued to showcase his scoring prowess, tallying six goals in ten appearances this season. His consistency in front of goal has made him an attractive prospect for several top clubs.

Real Madrid, in particular, seems to be keen on Osimhen as they seek a long-term solution to their striking needs following Karim Benzema’s departure at the end of the previous season. While Joselu has filled in capably, he is only on loan from Espanyol and, at 33 years of age, is not a long-term solution.

Real Madrid has been handed a boost in their pursuit of Osimhen. According to reports from Defensa Central (via The Hard Tackle), Osimhen is prepared to join Los Blancos when he departs Napoli.

However, any potential deal to bring Osimhen to the Spanish capital won’t be straightforward. Napoli is known for its tough negotiation stance, and it is believed that the transfer fee for Osimhen could be around €150 million. This would require Real Madrid to break their transfer record.

While Osimhen’s potential acquisition would be a significant financial commitment, his elite striker abilities could prove invaluable for Real Madrid’s attack. The club may face competition from other top clubs, such as Chelsea, who are also in search of a quality striker.

As Real Madrid weighs its options for the future, the pursuit of Osimhen is one to keep an eye on, as it could significantly bolster their attacking prowess.
