Manchester United is emerging as the frontrunner in the pursuit of Napoli’s prolific striker, Victor Osimhen. The Premier League club is reportedly gearing up to launch a substantial bid in the upcoming summer transfer window to secure the Nigerian forward’s services.
As per reports from The Independent, Manchester United has positioned itself as a formidable contender for Osimhen’s signature, signaling a potential shake-up in the summer transfer market.
The striker, who has been a standout performer for Napoli, has not only showcased his scoring prowess but also played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph in the previous season.
Osimhen’s goal tally of 13 in the current campaign has not gone unnoticed, attracting interest from various football powerhouses, including Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
The competition for the 24-year-old’s signature is expected to be fierce, with several top-tier teams expressing their desire to secure his services.
The Nigerian international recently inked a new contract with Napoli, a deal that reportedly includes a €110 million release clause.
Manchester United’s readiness to meet such a substantial release clause underscores their determination to bolster their attacking options and add depth to their squad.
Should the transfer materialize, Osimhen would join the ranks of illustrious strikers who have graced Old Trafford, and his arrival could potentially inject fresh attacking dynamism into Manchester United’s frontline.
The football world eagerly awaits further developments in what promises to be one of the marquee transfer sagas of the upcoming summer window.
