Manchester United in Talks with Victor Osimhen’s Representatives Over Potential Transfer
Manchester United has reportedly initiated discussions with Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen’s representatives as they seek to strengthen their attack for the next season.
Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has scored 33 goals and provided 8 assists in 37 appearances across all competitions.
Despite his impressive performances, a permanent move to Galatasaray seems unlikely due to financial constraints. Osimhen has attracted interest from several clubs, including Saudi Pro League side Neom, but is reportedly leaning towards a move to the English Premier League.
The 26-year-old striker’s financial demands are significant, with a salary expectation of €12 million per year. Manchester United, who are dissatisfied with their current attacking options, see Osimhen as a viable option if they fail to sign their top target, Victor Gyökeres.
Osimhen’s future could be determined by United’s willingness to meet Napoli’s asking price, expected to exceed €75 million including bonuses. The Red Devils are also monitoring Liam Delap of Ipswich as a potential alternative.
With his impressive form and potential fit for the Premier League, Osimhen’s transfer saga is one to watch in the upcoming season.
