n a stunning turn of events, Antonio Conte’s Napoli have offered Man United the chance to acquire Victor Osimhen this coming January in a swap deal for a Red Devils front man.
Man united are known to need a striker that’s a virtual guarantee of goals, and with Victor osimhen already having scored nine in 11 Turkish Super Lig games for Galatasaray (transfer market , he would clearly fit the bill for Ruben Amorim
Victor Osimhen offered to Man United
Joshua Zirkzee has not impressed since his transfer from Bologna, and although Rasmus Hojlund is improving, it might not be enough to convince his manager
With both players having Serie A experience, they could provide a potential solution to a swap deal that TBR football note that Napoli have encouraged.
The report also states that Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran is a player of interest to the Italian giants, and though Chelsea’s interest in the Nigerian hit-man appeared to wane over the past few months, the Blues still seem to covet the 25-year-old.
That said, Nico Jackson has shone in 2024/25 under Enzo Maresca, and given how well the Stamford Bridge outfit are playing at present, there’s a cogent argument to there being no need for the West Londoners to enter into negotiations.
Man United could swap Zirkzee or Hojlund for Victor Osimhen
If United can offload Zirkzee in particular, then a swap deal with Osimhen makes perfect sense.
The Dutchman appeared to flourish in Serie A and would surely jump at the chance to end his Old Trafford hell, particularly given that Napoli are right up near the top of the table and will surely be challenging for the Scudetto again this season.
