Napoli have drawn up a list of four possible striker replacements if Victor Osimhen leaves for the Premier League this summer.

Osimhen is certain to receive some big money bids at the end of the season, with Man Utd and Chelsea the favourites to make a move for the Nigerian.

Napoli will demand a three-figure sum for Osimhen, with reports they could ask for as much as €150 million in order to sell.

Were they to sell, the Corriere dello Sport reports that Napoli have made a list of four possible replacements.

Who will Napoli buy to replace Osimhen?

The preferred replacement for Napoli transfer chief Cristiano Giuntoli is Roma striker Tammy Abraham.

Abraham could be available for a transfer as, after a fantastic first season in Rome following his move from Chelsea, he has endured a mixed second campaign.

The second choice to replace Osimhen is Atalanta wonderkid Rasmus Hojlund.

Hojlund has been one of the breakout stars of the Serie A season, scoring eight goals since his move from Sturm Graz.

The 20-year-old has earned comparisons to Erling Haaland and is also liked by Premier League teams.

Next in the list is Union SG star Victor Boniface, a Nigeria compatriot of Osimhen.

Boniface has scored 15 goals this season and played a key role in Union SG fighting for the Belgian league title and reaching the Europa League quarter finals.

The final option is Udinese striker Beto.

The Portuguese giant boasts blistering pace and power and has been one of Serie A's better strikers over the past two seasons.

It will take some replacing Osimhen, whose 26 goals this season will lead Napoli to their first Scudetto in 33 years.
