Manchester United have received a huge boost in their quest to bring Victor Osimhen to Old Trafford, with a report revealing that he is ready to make the move, but there is competition.
Osimhen is one of the best and most lethal strikers in the world and has been on fire at Galatasaray this season. Signed on loan from Napoli in the summer of 2024, the Nigeria international – who was described as a “world-class striker” by former Man Utd and Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho in December 2023 – has scored 26 goals and given five assists in 30 matches in all competitions, with Galatasaray currently at the top of the Turkish Lig table.
Man Utd are on the hunt for a new striker, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee struggling to find the back of the net on a regular basis.
One of the strikers that Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim is keen on is Osimhen, and a new report has revealed that the Napoli-owned star is willing to move to Old Trafford.
According to TBR, ‘Man United have been informed that Osimhen would be willing to move to Old Trafford, without Champions League football’.
While there is interest in the striker from the Saudi Pro League, the Nigerian star is not willing to go there and is ‘focused on a move to England’.
Osimhen will cost £65million in transfer fees because of a release clause in his contract, but Napoli are so desperate to sell him this summer that they are willing to accept a deal for less than that.
‘We are told Osimhen was frustrated with how last summer panned out as he joined Galatasaray in the final days of the window after a move to Chelsea failed, and he has made it clear he wants his future resolved as early as possible this time around,’ adds the report in TBR.
‘Napoli have given Osimhen’s people permission to seek moves ahead of the summer window.
‘The Nigerian superstar has a release clause that is worth around £65million but Napoli won’t require any club to pay his clause and will do a deal with any interested party.’
