The highly sought-after player has attracted the attention of several top European clubs, including English powerhouses Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United.
Recent reports indicate that representatives from these Premier League clubs are scheduled to meet with Osimhen’s camp in the coming week to discuss a potential transfer.
