Napoli, the Italian giants, have expressed interest in Nigerian and OGC Nice striker Terem Igbofor Moffi, aiming to find a suitable replacement for Victor Osimhen, who is expected to leave as he reaches his career peak after scoring 74 goals and providing 18 assists in 129 games for the club since 2020.
While Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Chelsea eye Osimhen, Napoli faces the challenge of a €120m release clause in his contract, prompting them to explore alternatives.
Napoli's search for a replacement includes consideration of several strikers like Victor Boniface, Joshua Zirkzee, Jonathan David, and Santiago, but the potential costs involved pose a significant obstacle.
Reports suggest that Napoli had shown interest in Terem Moffi last summer amid Osimhen's potential departure, but the striker chose to remain with OGC Nice.
Recent reports from Tutto Napoli indicate Napoli's renewed interest in Moffi, impressed by his performance against PSG, where he scored two goals in a victory at the Parc des Princes, highlighting his similar profile to Osimhen.
Valued at around €30 million, Moffi emerges as a more affordable option compared to other targets like Santiago Gimenez and Jonathan David, who come with higher price tags.
Moffi boasts a respectable record of 51 goals and 12 assists across 129 Ligue 1 appearances for FC Lorient and OGC Nice, making him an attractive prospect for Napoli.
