Harry Kane hints at future Tottenham return after completing Bayern Munich move<\/h3>\n

Chelsea and Liverpool face frustrating transfer talks over a deal to secure the services of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. And their discussions could even prove fruitless if they mirror Manchester United\u2019s failed pursuit in the summer with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, when the Red Devils attempted to get their hands on Harry Kane before the striker sealed a \u00a3100million move to Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

Chelsea and Liverpool are both said to be chasing the signature of Osimhen, who has bagged six goals in his first eight Serie A matches of the campaign after racking up 31 goals in all competitions last season.<\/p>\n

Recruitment chiefs from both clubs will have to enter into negotiations with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis if they are to capture the 24-year-old. De Laurentiis, much like Levy, has earned a reputation for being a tough operator who slaps huge price tags on his stars – and the Premier League duo may be on a hiding to nothing.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are said to have more concrete interest in the player than Liverpool, but the Evening Standard claim any deal in January will be ‘very tough’ as Napoli are not a club who allow themselves to be bullied by players.<\/p>\n

De Laurentiis was quick to tell rival clubs his stance on Osimhen back in February, saying: \u201cI can tell you that Osimhen is not for sale. Our players are in demand, but I don’t have to sell anyone. We don’t have any debts.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in May, the 74-year-old added: \u201cI will not sell Victor Osimhen this summer – no way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Napoli supremo has so far been a man of his word, although if the right club put enough money on the table he would surely buckle. That\u2019s exactly what happened in August when Bayern landed Kane after several weeks of discussions. The England international had been the subject of talks between the Red Devils and Levy earlier in the summer as Erik ten Hag desperately pursued a move for the ace.<\/p>\n
