Liverpool chose not to pursue a late transfer for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, primarily due to his substantial wage demands, as both Liverpool and Chelsea were unwilling to meet his current salary of €11 million annually. The Reds only made one significant signing this summer, bringing in Federico Chiesa from Juventus, while also securing a future deal for goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. Reports indicate that Liverpool attempted a quick move for Osimhen but lost interest over financial issues, particularly as his salary did not align with Chelsea's new salary cap. Meanwhile, Osimhen's situation at Napoli remains uncertain, with rumors suggesting he may be loaned to a Europa League club, highlighting a potential exit from Napoli as he is currently sidelined from the squad. Liverpool is reportedly keeping an eye on Osimhen for a possible move in January, where they might negotiate a lower fee since Napoli is more open to discussions now. The Nigerian striker's future continues to attract interest from various European clubs amidst ongoing negotiations.
