Arsenal remains keen on securing the services of Victor Osimhen, one of Europe’s top strikers, but is reluctant to meet Napoli’s steep €120 million release clause.
Napoli set this high release clause to safeguard Osimhen’s market value, expecting substantial interest during the summer transfer window.
Despite the clause, the striker and Napoli have an understanding that he can leave if a suitable offer is made, and Osimhen is now awaiting bids from interested clubs.
Arsenal’s search for a new striker led them to Osimhen after their unsuccessful pursuit of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
The Gunners see Osimhen as a strong candidate to bolster their attacking options, yet the hefty release clause remains a significant hurdle.
