Based on the rumors that is surrounding the movement of Victor Osimhen to another club, I think his former club Napoli still has a hand in what has been delaying his transfer because of the buy back clause that is in his contract. Arsenal and Chelsea would have been a good place for the striker if you ask me but the teams are not willing meet up to his wages and it has affected the completion of the deal, Liverpool has shown no interest in him so I don't think he would be joining them anytime.
The relatively high release clause is an obstacle for all teams who want Osimhen. Osimhen is always in demand by many big clubs. It's just that everyone always doesn't manage to get it because the transfer price is expensive.
Liverpool even made a swap package offer, namely exchanging Darwin Nunez and Chiesa plus €20 million. However, it is a shame that Napoli rejected the offer and still remain firm with the release clause of €75 million plus players. And I think Liverpool can slowly step back from this.
Manchester United is also still fighting to get Osimhen. It's just that maybe it will be the same as last season where in the end all the teams that were interested in Osimhen finally gave up and stopped making offers. And ultimately Osimhen was loaned back.
