In a stunning turn of events, Manchester United, the English Premier League giants, have been informed that they must pay a staggering £140 million if they wish to acquire the services of Napoli’s prolific striker, Victor Osimhen, during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Nigerian international has attracted significant attention from United due to his remarkable performances for Serie A champions Napoli throughout the season. Sources indicate that Manchester United scouts were present during Napoli’s Champions League clash against Milan last month, and they have singled out Osimhen as the ideal candidate to spearhead their attack in the forthcoming season.
Osimhen, aged 24, is currently enjoying the pinnacle of his career with Napoli, topping the goal-scoring charts in the Italian Serie A. With an impressive tally of 23 goals, he sits three goals ahead of Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez, who occupies the second spot with 20 goals.
Interestingly, Osimhen’s teammate, Kim, aged 26, is reportedly on the verge of joining Manchester United, despite only recently arriving in Naples. According to Naples-based publication Il Mattino, a deal has already been arranged for Kim, leaving no doubts in the player’s mind about his future at Old Trafford.
With Kim’s potential move to Manchester United seemingly sealed, the club is now looking to intensify their pursuit of Osimhen. The Mirror reports that Napoli does not consider Osimhen to be one of their “untouchable” players, implying that United might have a chance to secure the Nigerian striker.
Manchester United’s pursuit of Victor Osimhen is a clear indication of their ambition to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season. However, with the £140 million price tag placed on Osimhen’s head, it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils are willing to splash such a colossal sum on securing his services. As the summer transfer window approaches, football enthusiasts eagerly await further developments in this high-profile transfer saga.
