Man United “fear” Paris Saint-Germain will beat them to “dream” signing of Victor Osimhen
Manchester United are reportedly worried that reigning Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain will snatch Victor Osimhen from their grasp.
United’s interest in Osimhen dates back several years, and speculation surrounding him continues to intensify as the transfer window approaches.
Currently on loan at Galatasaray after his unsuccessful attempt to leave Napoli last summer, Osimhen has seamlessly continued his form in Turkey’s top flight.
In 22 league appearances, the Nigerian superstar has managed 20 goals and four assists. Across all competitions, he has plundered 26 goals and provided five assists
GIVEMESPORT relay, “Manchester United fear Champions League quarter-finalists PSG in the race to sign Osimhen, according to GMS sources, as the French giants are seen as the frontrunners to get the deal over the line thanks to having the funds to meet his salary demands and a price tag in the region of £63million.
“GMS sources have been informed that Manchester United and fellow Premier League admirers Chelsea are most wary of PSG if it comes down to a tug-of-war for Osimhen – after a productive season in front of goal – thanks to the Parc des Princes-based outfit’s financial muscle.”
“GMS sources have been told that Manchester United have earmarked Osimhen as their dream target as they look to strengthen their options in the final third of the pitch, but they will have to see how the remainder of the season pans out before discovering whether he is within reach and would be interested in heading to Old Trafford instead of PSG.”
Another challenge for the Red Devils is Osimhen’s previously expressed interest in joining PSG, a desire that is likely to have grown given the club’s progress under Luis Enrique this season.
For Osimhen, there is also the appeal of a reunion with former Napoli teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who made the switch to PSG in January.
