The British newspaper “Daily Mail” reports that Manchester United will fight for Victor Osimhen in the summer. The Nigerian has been outstanding this season for Napoli. The “Red Devils” therefore hope that the 24-year-old would be able to transfer the very good form from Italy to playing in England. The team from Naples is fighting for the championship in Serie A, and also still counts in the Champions League, so in the event of great success, it may not want to sell off the best players. Manchester United’s offer, however, may turn out to be impossible to refuse.
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are ready to pay a release clause of €120m, which would see them break the club’s record transfer fee of €105m set by Paul Pogba. Osimhen joined Napoli from LOSC Lille for 75 million euros, so the Italian club would definitely earn from his player. The Nigerian is currently in his third season with Napoli, where he has made 83 appearances in total, scoring 45 goals and adding 13 assists.
The situation with the forwards at Manchester United
After Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Old Trafford, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Wout Weghorst, brought to the team in the winter, are responsible for scoring. Erika ten Haga’s top scorer is the former with 10 goals in 21 appearances, so this shows that the arrival of a classic striker is very much needed by Manchester United at the moment. However, if the transfer of the 24-year-old does not take place according to the “Daily Mail”, the “Red Devils” will try to convince Harry Kane.
Interest from Chelsea
As it turns out, Manchester United are not the only team interested in bringing Victor Osimhen. Chelsea, after making big transfers in the winter, do not want to stop there. According to “La Gazetta dello Sport”, the team from London will also join the fight for the Nigerian. If the transfer fee is paid, where Victor Osimhen ends up will be up to him.
