Late snub? Liverpool 'explored' signing Chelsea, Arsenal-linked striker

Liverpool allegedly attempted to sign Napoli forward Victor Osimhen during the final days of the summer transfer window.

Throughout the time that the market was open, Osimhen was heavily linked with either a move to the Premier League, Ligue 1 or Saudi Pro League.

The likes of Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain seemingly fell by the wayside as Chelsea and Al-Ahli battled it out for the Nigeria international's signature.

However, both big-spending clubs ultimately failed to get a deal over the line, Osimhen spurning a move to Chelsea due to their new wage structure and turning down a move to the Middle East.

During the final hours of deadline day, it was perceived to be a straight fight between those two teams, yet it appears that a fellow Premier League giant also threatened to get involved.

Liverpool also snubbed by Osimhen?

According to Corriere dello Sport, Liverpool also made a late attempt to sign the 25-year-old.

The report says that the Merseyside giants 'tried a late blitz' to secure Osimhen's signature, only for the effort to quickly fizzle out.

Liverpool had already added Federico Chiesa to their attacking ranks, one that now boasts six high-profile players who can be deployed in more than one position.

Osimhen could have theoretically been the centre-forward that Liverpool hoped Darwin Nunez would become, there still being doubts over whether the Uruguay international will eventually become more ruthless in the final third.

What now for Osimhen?

With a day still remaining in the Saudi Pro League transfer window, Osimhen could still make a late switch to a club in that division.

That appears to be his only option with Napoli head coach Antonio Conte having already insisted that he will not be reintegrating the club legend back into the first-team fold.

Commenting on the situation over the weekend, Conte said: "Ehis is the team. This is the group. We made decisions. I mentioned coherence before. Those who are not consistent don't respect the rules.

"I repeat, respect to the club. The president proved consistent despite losing important money—credit where credit is due. The club were consistent, knowing that if the situation had unlocked earlier, we would all have been advantaged. As I said, we've started rebuilding. Good players arrived."

Romelu Lukaku was signed as Osimhen's replacement and scored on his debut as Napoli edged out Parma by a 2-1 scoreline on Saturday night. body check tags ::
