Victor Osimhen has rejected approaches from Premier League clubs Liverpool and Manchester United, as he hopes to complete a move to Napoli this weekend.
Osimhen’s representatives and Napoli officials negotiated throughout Friday to try and find an agreement to close the transfer but failed to reach a common ground.
The 21-year-old’s decision to change agent to William D’Avila remains the principal issue that needs resolving as his former representative, Jean-Gérard Benoit Czajka, is threatening all relevant parties with legal action, incensed by the idea that he and his associates could miss out on remuneration for years of work behind getting Osimhen to the position that he is now in.

We all need to pray for this guy. That is how devil use to brings several mirage options at verge of break through. Should this guy say no to Napoli who had shown so much interest and face the English giants who were not really ready to land Him, Not even at the asking price from lile?
Osimhen, my advice for you is to complete the move to Napoli and make your self a regular starter.
Can Osihmen replace Firmino at Liverpool? Yes he can! He’s a type of Klopp player, I’m sure Liverpool will bring the best of him.
90 minutes of football is more important.
Remember Wolfsburg who also promised him play time but shifted the goal post later on according to osimhen himself. So, he should be wise in his decision.
