Newcastle United preparing new offer to sign Super Eagles star this summer

Newcastle United are reportedly preparing to make a new offer to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer.

It is known that The Magpies retain a strong interest in the Nigeria international despite failing in their attempt to sign him in the January transfer window and have placed him on their list of potential incomings.

According to Roma, via Area Napoli, Newcastle United would return for Osimhen but it's an attempt destined to fail as Napoli chief De Laurentiis has reiterated that he would like the club's record acquisition to remain in Naples for at least one more season.

The 2015 U17 World Cup winner has been valued at an inflated 110 million euros by Napoli and as such, only the big Premier League teams, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain can meet his asking price.

Two years ago, the Blues made Osimhen the most African-born player in history, signing him from Ligue 1 club Lille for a fee of 70 million euros.

Since joining Napoli, the Super Eagles striker has scored 28 goals in 62 appearances and helped the club qualify for next season's Champions League.
