Today’s fluff is revelling in the back-in-training bantz
With Napoli firmly rejecting an £86m bid from Paris Saint-Germain for their title-winning striker Victor Osimhen, it invites the question of who might be prepared to chuck a sum north of that in their direction for the Nigeria international? The answer, of course, is Saudi Arabia any number of clubs at the top end of the Premier League. Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle are all sizing up bids for Osimhen and an auction could ensue for a player the paper describes as “on the international podium with Haaland and Mbappé”.
Newcastle are also thought to be closing in on a deal for the Southampton defender Tino Livramento. Once a Hot Chelsea Prospect, like so many hundreds of others, Livramento had an injury-hit second season at St Mary’s after impressing in his first, but Eddie Howe believes the full-back’s pace and versatility could be just the ticket. He’d need to shell out around £15m, mind.
