Napoli are pushing hard for top Reds star
Liverpool are prepared to offer Federico Chiesa to Napoli as part of a potential deal for Victor Osimhen, but the Serie A champions are more interested in one more Reds star.
Darwin Nunez has emerged as a top target for Napoli, who are in the market to bring in a more physical striker to suit Antonio Conte’s style of football.
The Italian champions have been in talks with Liverpool, but they have made little progress in the negotiations for the striker.
However, according to Sky Italia, Napoli are set to hold more secret transfer talks with Liverpool and Nunez’s representatives over the next few days.
The Serie A giants will intensify their efforts for Nunez, who is keen on staying in Europe despite interest from Saudi Pro League clubs.
The forward would prefer a move to Napoli, where Conte is known for getting the best out of physical strikers such as him.
