Listing Premier League stars who have reportedly been offered to Napoli in a swap deal for Victor Osimhen

Despite signing a contract extension last December, Victor Osimhen's future at Napoli still remains uncertain.

The 25-year-old Super Eagles striker has attracted interest from top European clubs following his impressive performance in the 2022/2023 season, which saw Napoli win their first Scudetto title in 33 years.

Osimhen's impressive stats of 78 goals and 18 assists in 132 appearances have made him a highly sought-after player.

Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United are rumored to be interested in his services, with Paris Saint-Germain also considering him as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe.

Apart from offers from the Saudi Pro League, none of the player's suitors in Europe have made a concrete offer for his signature due to his staggering release clause.

However, some of these clubs have explored other creative means of signing the player by offering a player plus cash in a swap deal for their target man.

In this piece, MyNigeriaSports will look at some of these players whose names have featured in a potential player plus cash deal for Osimhen.

Arsenal - Emile Smith Rowe and Takehiro Tomiyasu

According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli were open to negotiating a swap deal with Arsenal, with Takehiro Tomiyasu or Emile Smith Rowe potentially included in a potential transfer for Victor Osimhen.

Both players were reportedly on Napoli's radar during the January transfer window.

Chelsea - Romelu Lukaku

According to reports, Antonio Conte is keen on bringing Romelu Lukaku to replace Osimhen after taking over the reins of the Naples-based last month.

The Belgium international, who scored 21 times in 47 games for Roma last season, has no intention of returning to Chelsea this summer and could be available for a fee around £37 million.

Conte and Lukaku worked together at Inter Milan, winning the Serie A title in the 2020/2021 season.

Lukaku scored 64 goals in 95 appearances for Inter Milan under the former Tottenham Hotspur manager, as per PUNCH.

Chelsea could explore a more creative means of activating a potential player-plus-cash exchange with Lukaku to meet Napoli's demands for the Super Eagles striker.

Manchester United - Rasmus Hojlund

The Danish international is the latest player to be named in a potential swap deal for Victor Osimhen.

Italian publication CalcioNapoli24 reports that Manchester United have offered cash plus striker Hojlund in exchange for the Super Eagles striker.

Hojlund impressed with Erik ten Hag's side last season in what was his debut season at Old Trafford.

With Napoli willing to sell Osimhen this summer, it remains to be seen if the two parties can reach an agreement.
