Victor Osimhen, the prolific Nigerian striker currently on loan at Galatasaray, is reportedly inching closer to a move to Manchester United. Sources suggest that the Red Devils have initiated advanced talks with the player, who is said to be keen on the challenge of playing at Old Trafford. However, negotiations with his parent club, Napoli, are yet to begin.
Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray after a failed attempt to secure a permanent move away from Napoli last summer, has been a standout performer in Turkey, contributing to 18 goals in all competitions this season. His Galatasaray contract includes a break clause, while Napoli have slashed his previous release clause, making a transfer more feasible for interested clubs.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim views Osimhen as a crucial addition to solve the club’s attacking woes. While the Red Devils have previously been linked with Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres, complications surrounding the Swede’s €100 million release clause have shifted their focus to Osimhen.
Speculation has also emerged about a potential swap deal involving Marcus Rashford and Osimhen, although no concrete details have surfaced. With Osimhen reportedly eager to embrace the Premier League challenge, all eyes are now on United’s next move and Napoli’s stance on the deal.
