And with Man Utd and Arsenal looking for a striker this summer, they have identified Osimhen as one of their potential targets.
However, according to Fichajes, they are likely to miss out on the youngster unless they are ready to pay the top dollar for his services.
Napoli know Osimhen is their most prized asset and are not ready to let him leave.
The Super Eagles star joined the Italian side from Ligue 1 club Lille for a club and African record of €81.3m in 2020.

Osimhen still has three years left on his contract, which puts Napoli in a good position not to sell.
But should Man Utd and Arsenal persist, the Neapolitans will not sell the Nigerian for anything less than €100m, which would make him Arsenal's record signing and Man Utd's second most expensive purchase.
