The Nigerian international, one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards, is said to be intrigued by Newcastle’s ambitious project and the opportunity to play a key role in their European campaign.
Osimhen, 26, has been heavily linked with a move away from Napoli after another prolific season in Serie A. While several top clubs across Europe are monitoring his situation, sources close to the player suggest that Newcastle’s resurgence and their guaranteed Champions League football have made them a highly attractive option.
Newcastle United, backed by strong financial resources, are looking to make a major statement in the summer transfer window. Bringing in a proven goalscorer like Osimhen would underline their intent to compete with Europe’s elite.
Talks are expected to advance in the coming weeks, with Newcastle prepared to meet Napoli’s high valuation. Osimhen, who scored 21 goals this past season, would be a marquee signing for Eddie Howe’s side as they gear up for a demanding 2025/26 campaign across domestic and European competitions.
