Napoli would be open to letting the player leave if a large offer was to arrive.
Receiving big money for Osimhen would allow them to move competitively in the market.
The Italian club have set a €100 million price tag on the striker.
Now, the north London club are ready to make a strong move to try and land him.
Osimhen was named Serie A Young Player of the Season for the campaign just gone.
He netted 14 goals in 27 Serie A matches.
