Italian Serie A champions, Napoli are weighing up a move for Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker, Terem Moffi in case his compatriot, Victor Osimhen leaves the club this summer.
Osimhen has been heavily linked with a move away from Napoli since last summer with Manchester United, Chelsea, PSG, and Bayern Munich showing interest in the sensational hit man.
However, nothing concrete has come out of those talks as Napoli are unwilling to let Osimhen leave unless they get a ridiculous offer and the Partenopeans may not accept anything less than €150million for a deal to happen.
According to Tuttomercato, a deal has not been confirmed, but Napoli are already shopping for viable replacements and have shortlisted Nice star Moffi and Lille man Jonathan David.
Moffi would be the cheaper option for the Serie A Champions, but they would be getting a quality player if they decide to make the move.
Moffi was the ninth-highest goalscorer in the Ligue 1 last season. He scored 18 league goals in the French top flight and added three in the Europa League. In fact, his over-head scissors kick against Basel in the Europa League was the best goal last season.
Nice acquired him from Lorient for €25million, and they may not demand up to €50million to let him go. However, David could cost up to €60million.
