Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis insisted that the newly crowned Serie A champions will not sell star striker Victor Osimhen this summer amid ongoing interest from Manchester United.
The Nigeria international, 24, is a concrete target for the Reds ahead of this summer's transfer window, as they aim to strengthen their pool of attacking options.
Manager Erik ten Hag is understood to have prioritised the addition of a new goal-getter and Osimhen has been on their radar since November, although Harry Kane is the manager's preferred target.
Osimhen, who is also attracting interest from the likes of Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, played a key role in Napoli clinching their first Serie A title in 33 years this season, scoring 22 goals in 27 league appearances.
