Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis is reportedly open to a swap deal with Manchester United involving strikers Victor Osimhen and Rasmus Hojlund.
Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, is expected to return to Napoli at the end of the season. The Nigerian international has a €75 million release clause in his contract, making him a sought-after player in the upcoming transfer window.
Manchester United have shown interest in Osimhen but face financial constraints due to the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability rules, making it challenging to meet his release clause.
To navigate this, United are considering offering a swap deal that includes Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund, who joined the club from Atalanta.
Hojlund has struggled to find form this season, scoring seven goals and providing one assist in 34 appearances across all competitions.
Napoli, known for their strategic acquisitions, view Hojlund as a potential fit within their wage structure and tactical setup.
Osimhen has been in impressive form during his loan spell at Galatasaray, netting 14 goals and providing four assists in 19 league appearances.
His performance has not only bolstered Galatasaray’s attacking prowess but also increased his market value and attractiveness to top European clubs.
