Napoli are still at the top of the standings with a collection of 71 points. The club nicknamed I Partenopei is 19 points ahead of Lazio as the closest competitor.
Thanks to his brilliance with Napoli, Osimhen was also attracted by many of Europe's top clubs. Two Premier League clubs, Manchester United and Chelsea, are said to be the most serious about signing the 24-year-old striker.
According to Sportmole's Football Insider, Man United are planning a £143 million raid to keep Osimhen and Kim away from the Serie A leaders.
The Red Devils strengthened their front line with the loan signing of Wout Weghorst in the January transfer window.
However, the Dutchman has scored just two goals in 17 appearances for Erik ten Hag's side and is expected to return to Burnley when his loan deal expires at the end of the season.
With Anthony Martial's future also in doubt, Man United are keen to sign a top-tier striker in the summer transfer window.
As well as being linked with Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, they are also thought to be showing an interest in Osimhen. The Nigeria international is currently Serie A's top scorer after netting 19 goals in 22 league appearances this season.
With Osimhen's contract until June 2025, Man United may have to pay a fee of over £ 100 million to secure his services.
The Red Devils are also keen to strengthen their back line, and they have reportedly put together several positive scouting reports on Kim's form at Napoli.
The South Korea international, who arrived from Fenerbahce last summer, has started 25 of Napoli's 26 league games this season, contributing two goals and an assist.
Kim has a contract until June 2025 with an option for a two-year extension. But the deal allegedly includes a £43 million release, which will run for two weeks in July.
Meanwhile, Chelsea need Osimhen to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has struggled to adapt at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea even made Kai Havertz, who has his original position as an attacking midfielder, as an emergency striker.
