Following the initial reports from the Italian media claiming Liverpool are interested in acquiring Victor Osimhen from Napoli, it appears some people do not think the Reds can afford that procedure.
Arsenal, City, and Tottenham are three teams in the Premier League that are engaged in a fierce rivalry. A striker like Osimhen might be something Liverpool, a storied team, wants, but Liverpool is ranked among the most indebted English clubs, according to my analysis of English clubs’ financial exposure.Â
Despite the striker’s injury, which will keep him out for a few weeks, the claims ended up being widely reported in Italy, where the local media was very excited about the possibility of the Reds pursuing his signing.
Osimhen’s contract with Napoli expires in 2025, so next summer will be critical in determining whether he’ll be staying or leaving the team. We’ll see if Liverpool has the financial means to accommodate the enormous demands that club president Aurelio De Laurentiis is likely to make for the sale.
Although the debt base in English football is substantial, there are numerous Premier League teams with debt levels higher than Liverpool.
