Transfer: Man United Offer Top Striker Plus Cash For Osimhen

MANCHESTER United have set their sights on securing Victor Osimhen from Napoli, with reports suggesting a potential player plus cash deal for the 25-year-old striker.

Osimhen, who has attracted interest from top clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and PSG, now sees United entering the fray, according to CalcioNapoli24. The Red Devils have reportedly proposed a deal that includes cash and striker Rasmus Hojlund in exchange for the Nigerian star.

Hojlund, who joined United last season and impressed in his debut campaign, is seen as a promising talent with a bright future. His potential departure would surprise many, given his potential to become a key player for the club.

Napoli, despite Osimhen being their top scorer for the past two seasons, including their Scudetto-winning 2022/23 campaign, are open to selling him this summer. After extending his contract, Osimhen’s release clause was initially set between €120m and €130m, which deterred some suitors. However, Napoli has since lowered their asking price to €100m, making him more accessible to potential buyers.

While clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, and PSG have been linked with Osimhen, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that no formal offers have been tabled yet. Napoli even rejected a lucrative offer exceeding €200m from a Saudi Arabian club last summer, highlighting their valuation of the talented forward.

Since his €75m move from Lille in 2020, Osimhen has emerged as one of the most exciting strikers globally, showcasing his prowess in Italian football and now potentially eyeing a move to the Premier League to further test himself on a new stage.
