Napoli will demand €150 million to part ways with Victor Osimhen, a target for Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
According to a report by 90min, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester United know how much they will need to shell out to secure the services of Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window. And Napoli will demand €150 million to part ways with the Nigerian international.
Victor Osimhen has established himself as one of the best strikers in the world since joining Napoli from Lille nearly three years ago. The 24-year-old overcame a few teething problems to become a pivotal figure for the Partenopei. And he has been instrumental in Napoli winning the elusive Serie A title this past season.
The Nigerian striker was sensational, as he amassed 31 goals and five assists in 39 appearances in all competitions. And with Osimhen’s performance levels skyrocketing, it is hardly surprising that several high-profile clubs are keen on signing him. Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Chelsea are among his prospective suitors. And Napoli will demand €150 million to part ways with him.
Osimhen’s name has featured prominently on Real Madrid’s wishlist for a long time. But the former Lille attacker is a contingency option for Los Blancos, with Kylian Mbappe being the priority target. Nonetheless, he remains on Real Madrid’s radar over a possible summer move following Karim Benzema’s departure.
As for Chelsea, the West London club struggled for goals in the 2022/23 campaign. And Mauricio Pochettino is determined to end Chelsea’s woes in the upcoming season. Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that the Blues are ready to make their move for the Napoli striker.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will look to upgrade on the perennially-injured Anthony Martial this summer. And with Wout Weghorst returning to Burnley, Erik ten Hag does not have a reliable striker in his squad. Osimhen is thus a viable target for Manchester United.
It is unclear if Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester United are willing to fork out €150 million to secure Osimhen’s services. But with the Nigerian international’s contract running until June 30, 2025, it is hardly surprising that Napoli will demand a premium to part ways with him.
