In a bid to strengthen their squad, Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Victor Osimhen from Napoli. According to Fichajes, the Red Devils are determined to secure the services of the Nigerian striker and have already informed Napoli of their intention to trigger his €75 million release clause.
Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Lig from Napoli, is expected to remain with the club until the end of the season. The 22-year-old has been in impressive form, scoring 22 goals and providing five assists in 28 appearances so far this campaign.
As for Manchester United, they find themselves in a disappointing 14th position in the Premier League table, accumulating just 33 points from 27 matches. The club is keen to bolster their attacking options and believe Osimhen could be the perfect addition to their squad.
Meanwhile, Napoli are enjoying a successful season in Serie A, currently sitting in second place with 57 points from 27 games. They are just one point behind league leaders Inter Milan and will be reluctant to let go of Osimhen without a fight.
With the summer transfer window on the horizon, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can successfully negotiate a deal for Osimhen. However, their willingness to trigger his release clause demonstrates their determination to secure his signature.
As the season progresses, fans will be eagerly watching to see how this potential transfer saga unfolds. Will Osimhen make the move to Old Trafford? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
