Arsenal remains keen on acquiring Victor Osimhen, but they are not prepared to meet Napoli’s €120 million release clause.
Osimhen is esteemed as one of Europe’s elite strikers, prompting Napoli to set a high release clause to safeguard his market value, expecting significant interest this summer.
The striker has an agreement with Napoli allowing him to depart if a suitable offer emerges, and he is now awaiting potential bids.
Arsenal, in their quest for a new striker, considers Osimhen a prime target following their unsuccessful pursuit of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
According to a report from Calcio Napoli24, Arsenal is unwilling to pay the full release clause for the former Lille striker. Instead, they are prepared to offer €75 million, which is their final and non-negotiable offer to Napoli.

Osimhen, currently one of the top strikers available, is expected to leave Napoli this summer.
He is more prolific than our current options and will boost our goal tally, but he is not worth €120m, and we should not be pressured into paying such a high amount for him.
