Osimhen was strongly expected to join the English elite last summer, United and Chelsea being among the clubs that coveted it. He finally joined Galatasaray on loan for the 2024-25 season, the price requested by Naples having remained uneven and his relationship with the Italian club having deteriorated.
Victor Osimhen in Manchester United?
Manchester United has not lost his interest in the former Lille striker, since Tuttosport reports that a principle agreement has been reached and that the Red Devils are ready to activate his release clause of 75 million euros (64 million pounds Sterling/86 million dollars) this summer. The article suggests that United could send Rasmus Hojlund to Naples as part of this agreement, taking into account the difficulty of the attacker to Old Trafford.
Osimhen is settled
Osimhen posted an exceptional form in Türkiye, scoring no less than 30 goals in 35 games in all competitions, which pushed the Giants of the Super Lig to press the 26 -year -old to sign a permanent contract. Hojlund, meanwhile, has only scored eight goals in 45 games for the Old Trafford club this season.
Before the match of this weekend against Bournemouth, United occupies 14th place in the Premier League ranking and coach Ruben Amorim believes that a signature like that of Osimhen is essential to improve his performance after a disappointing season.
