Arsenal Cap Osimhen Offer at €75m

Arsenal remain interested in signing Victor Osimhen but are unwilling to meet Napoli’s €120m release clause.

Osimhen is regarded as one of Europe’s top strikers, and Napoli set the high release clause anticipating significant demand this summer.

The striker has an agreement with Napoli to leave if a suitable offer arrives and is now waiting for potential clubs to make their move.

Arsenal, in search of a new striker after failing to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, sees Osimhen as a strong candidate.

However, according to Calcio Napoli24, Arsenal has no intention of paying the full release clause and are prepared to offer €75m for the former Lille striker. This amount is their maximum offer and is presented as a take-it-or-leave-it proposition to Napoli.

Osimhen is one of the finest strikers available and likely to leave Napoli this summer. While he is more prolific than Arsenal’s current options and would add more goals, the club believes he is not worth €120m and should not be pressured into paying that much.
