Italian journalist reveals Arsenal's offer for Osimhen

Premier League runners-up Arsenal have reportedly named their estimated price for Victor Osimhen, according to reports.

Italian football expert and journalist, Valter de Maggio has disclosed that the Gunners don't value the Nigerian striker at €120 million but rather around the region €75 million.

He added that the 25-year-old is keen on a move to the Premier League despite mouthwatering offers from the Saudi Pro League.

“Osimhen? From what we understand, despite the monstrous offer from the Arab league, Victor does not want to go to Saudi Arabia, and Arsenal in the Premier League don’t value him at 120 million euros but rather just over half at 75 million euros,” the journalist spoke at Radio Kiss Napoli, with quotes revealed by CalcioNapoli24.

Osimhen staggering release clause of €130m from Napoli has become a stumbling block to any potential move away from the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Chelsea have reportedly dropped their interest in the reigning African Footballer of the Year as they believe the Napoli stalwart is overpriced.

Paris Saint-Germain have also reportedly cooled off their interest in the former Lille attacker.
