Victor Osimhen has become the center of a brewing transfer saga as Manchester United join Paris Saint-Germain in the race to secure the prolific striker’s signature.
At 25, the Nigerian international has already proven his prowess, netting 12 goals in just 15 appearances since his loan move to Galatasaray. However, the forward’s journey may soon take another turn.
RMC Sport reports that PSG initiated contact with Osimhen’s camp but face significant hurdles. Manager Luis Enrique, who resisted signing a No. 9 last summer, may maintain his stance in January. Adding to the complexity, Osimhen’s loan deal requires intricate negotiations between PSG, Galatasaray, and parent club Napoli.
Enter Manchester United. According to Sacha Tavolieri, the Premier League giants have reached out to Osimhen’s representatives, reigniting his long-standing aspiration to play in England. While personal terms are unlikely to pose an issue, Napoli’s hefty €75m price tag looms large. With the striker’s contract expiring in 18 months, the Red Devils and PSG face a race against time and finances to land the coveted forward.
