Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for Victor Osimhen, valued at €150 million by Serie A giants Napoli.
Victor Osimhen has been one of the best players in the world this season, and his performances have caught the attention of a number of clubs. According to a report by Gazzetta dello Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are keen on signing the player as well. But Manchester United are more determined than his other suitors.
Osimhen has been in splendid form this year, and he has helped Napoli climb to the top of the Serie A standings. He also helped the Italian outfit reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
He has 26 goals to his name across all competitions and could prove to be a quality acquisition for Manchester United. According to reports, Manchester United have been following the 24-year-old Nigerian international for a while and are prepared to make a move for him at the end of the season.
The striker is reportedly valued at €150 million by Napoli chief Aurelio De Laurentiis. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United are ready to smash their club transfer record to sign the striker. Clubs like PSG have enormous resources at their disposal, and they would have no problems paying that kind of money for the striker.
The Red Devils have been overly dependent on Marcus Rashford for goals this season, and the England international has been in outstanding form. However, he needs more help next season. So signing a reliable goalscorer should be a top priority for Manchester United.
Osimhen could form a lethal partnership in the attack with Marcus Rashford, and the two players could sort out Erik ten Hag’s attack for the foreseeable future. The opportunity to play for a Premier League club is likely to be an attractive option for Osimhen, and Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world.
The 24-year-old has proven his quality in Serie A, and he will be tempted to showcase his qualities at a higher level in the Premier League. The Red Devils are expected to return to the Champions League next season, and they will be an attractive destination for players. And they are the most determined club to land the €150 million-rated striker.
They have won the League Cup this season, and the improvement under Erik ten Hag suggests that they could be competing for major trophies next season. Signing Osimhen could be the final piece of the puzzle for Manchester United as they look to put together a squad capable of eclipsing the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City.
