According to reports, Newcastle United are ready to offer Super Eagles star striker, Victor Osimhen, up to N4 billion (€9million) in salary per year to persuade him to leave Italy.
Italian outlet Calciomercato reported that Osimhen has been linked with a transfer to Premier League clubs; Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle, but the Magpies are the major contenders to secure the services of the €100million rated star.
Newcastle tried to sign the 23-year-old in January but will double his current wage at Napoli if he accepts their offer.
The report says Osimhen is ‘tempted’ by the offer, and it has been suggested that if Newcastle do not relegate this season, Osimhen could join the English premier league team.
Newcastle United was bought over by a Saudi-led consortium in October 2021 and the club knows that Napoli will sell Osimhen for nothing less than €100million this summer.
So far this season, Osimhen has scored 17 goals in 29 matches for Napoli.
