As a result, Osimhen has drawn the attention of other major clubs in Europe, including Chelsea e Manchester United have stood out as the most interested. However, according to the British newspaper Daily MailNapoli should not release the striker so easily and demand an offer of no less than R$ 847 million to sell the player who has a contract until June 2025 with the Italians.
It is worth mentioning that, according to the publication, Osimhen would be interested in transferring to United, which has as a priority the acquisition of a striker to reinforce its cast.

At the age of 24, Victor Osimhen arrived at Napoli in 2020, after being bought from Lille, France, for R$ 425 million, being the most expensive signing in the club’s history. Since then, Osimhen has played 91 games for the current Italian Serie A leader, with 53 goals scored and 14 assists.
The young Nigerian has not yet won titles with Napoli, but the tendency is for that to change this season, given the team’s outstanding performance in the Italian Championship.
