Victor Osimhen: Lille Want €50m For Liverpool Target

The French club snubbed all enquiries for the Nigerian goal-machine in January but are prepared to let him leave in the summer.

Lille have reportedly set a €50m asking-price for rumoured Liverpool target Victor Osimhen according to reports in France.

The likes of Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid are also believed to have taken a look at the former U-17 World Cup goal king.

But it is the Premier League runaway leaders who are reportedly leading the race for the signature of the 21-year-old.

The Super Eagles forward is enjoying an excellent debut season in France where he has netted 17 goals in all competitions for Les Dogues.

Osimhen is just three goals shy of the 20 he smashed in for Sporting Charleroi last season with much of the campaign still to be played.

Lille were in no mood to sell mid-season, but French outlet BuzzSport.fr, cited by Inside Futbol, claims they could consider a sale this summer providing a club meets their asking price.

A year after seeing Nicolas Pepe depart the Stade Pierre-Mauroy for Arsenal in an €80m deal, coach Christophe Galtier’s side will not be willing to sell his worthy replacement on the cheap.
