Manchester United has reached out to Victor Osimhen’s representatives regarding a potential transfer.
Osimhen is currently on loan from Napoli to the Turkish club Galatasaray, where he has scored 33 goals and provided eight assists across all competitions this season.
Both Chelsea and Arsenal have also expressed interest in the Nigerian forward, who is considered one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market.
However, Manchester United’s top priority is Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres, who ranks first on the club’s wishlist. Securing Gyökeres will be challenging if United fails to qualify for the Champions League, as top clubs across Europe are also pursuing him, leading to stiff competition for his signature.
If the move for Gyökeres does not materialize, Osimhen is seen as the most realistic alternative. Discussions are ongoing as the club prepares for various outcomes, and Osimhen is reportedly demanding wages of €12 million per year.
Another option is English striker Liam Delap, but Osimhen remains the most promising candidate under consideration.
The Nigerian international would cost Manchester United over €75 million, a figure that could increase depending on Napoli’s final stance.
United aims to reshape its attacking lineup this summer, with coach Ruben Amorim seeking a proven striker capable of making an immediate impact. The club’s interest in the Napoli striker indicates they are exploring high-caliber opportunities.
