Manchester United’s Bid For Victor Osimhen: A Game-Changing Move
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

Victor Osimhen has captured the attention of prominent European clubs seeking to enhance their roster by securing his services.
Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen is resolute in his desire to depart Napoli this summer amidst recent rumors linking him to Manchester United, as per UMPIRE Sports.
Renowned transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has disclosed that the Nigerian striker is on the verge of finalizing a transfer away from Napoli, with his preferred destination being the English Premier League.
As per the Italian reporter, despite the absence of any offers for the player in June, Napoli anticipates bids from EPL clubs, given that Osimhen’s release clause stands at €120 million.


Initially, Chelsea and Arsenal expressed interest in Osimhen at the beginning of the summer transfer window. Nevertheless, reports suggest that Chelsea has pulled out due to concerns over Osimhen’s injury history.
Conversely, Arsenal, known for their prudent spending, might face difficulties in meeting the €120 million release clause. Their most expensive signing to date was €116 million for Declan Rice in 2023, followed by Nicolas Pepe from Lille in 2019.
On the other hand, Manchester United has reignited their pursuit of the Super Eagles forward to reinforce their squad following the departure of Anthony Martial, whose contract has expired.

In order to adhere to Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, United may not be able to meet Napoli’s asking price outright. However, reports indicate that the Red Devils are contemplating a deal involving Rasmus Hojlund plus a cash sum for Osimhen.
Although there have been no official statements from Osimhen’s representatives or Napoli regarding these recent developments, it is evident that the Nigerian star is contemplating an exit from the Diego Maradona Stadium this summer.
Should Osimhen secure a move to Manchester United, he would potentially fill the void left by Martial and add depth to their attacking options.
The transfer saga surrounding Osimhen continues to unfold, with fans eagerly awaiting confirmation of his next destination.
Napoli is bracing themselves for potential offers from English clubs as the transfer window progresses.
