Lille have reportedly received a tabled £75million bid for Victor Osimhen’ by an unknown club as attention around the Nigerian youngster hots up ahead of the summer transfer window following the end of the 21-year-old after Ligue 1 was shut down and PGS awarded the title due to the Coronavirus pandemic, with Osimhen’s goal tally frozen at 13 and Lille in fourth place.
Current UCL holders, Liverpool, Italian giant, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United have all shown keen interest for his services.
Osimhen earned his move to France after scoring 20 goals for Belgian side Charleroi in 2018-19, and is likely to again be on the move when summer business starts.
It is undecided how French football chiefs will decide on European qualification for next season, but if the table is taken as it stands Lille would drop into the Europa League next term, which could influence Osimhen’s decision.
