Liverpool have not agreed personal terms ahead of £150 million transfer

Liverpool have not agreed a contract with Napoli forward Victor Osimhen despite claims that Jurgen Klopp's side had made a powerful move to sign one of Europe's most talented players.

It's a transfer that is incredibly unlikely for a host of reasons but now seems even more unlikely.

Last week, Italian journalist Valter De Maggio told Televomero that Liverpool have an agreement in place to sign the 24-year-old striker.

However this report has been refuted by Fabrizio Romano.

Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool have not agreed personal terms with Victor Osimhen

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the journalist reports: “Some media is reporting that Victor Osimhen already agreed contract terms with Liverpool

“Guys from what I’m told, Victor Osimhen hasn’t agreed anything with any club – not even with Napoli.

"There’s no agreement on the contract extension. Napoli made a really important proposal to Osimhen, in terms of contract, very important salary, the biggest in Napoli history is on the table for Osimhen.

"But he has not decided and he has not agreed anything with any club.

“So Osimhen will take his time. Reports of an agreement with Liverpool are not true. For sure, Liverpool and many other clubs are keeping an eye on the situation of many strikers. But at the moment for Osimhen, nothing is agreed and nothing is decided.”

Napoli want to keep Osimhen at the club although a recent TikTok video shared by the club's official TikTok account, widely condemned for the racial implications it had, have threatened relations with the player and his agent.

The video has since been deleted but how this affects contract talks between Osimhen and Napoli remains to be seen.

This article will be updated with any developments but for now it appears as though Liverpool are not likely to sign Osimhen.
