Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
The 25-year-old Nigerian striker has been linked with clubs like Chelsea, but a report from CalcioNapoli24 states that Manchester United are very much in the race as well. The Red Devils are reportedly plotting a player cash deal to sign the 25-year-old Napoli striker.
Manchester United have offered cash plus Rasmus Hojlund in a deal for the Napoli striker, and it will be interesting to see if the Italian giants are willing to accept such an offer. Hojlund joined Manchester United last season and he was quite impressive in his debut campaign with the Red Devils. It would be quite surprising if they decided to sanction his departure. The Denmark international is a prodigious talent with a bright future, and he could develop into a key player for the club.
Victor Osimhen could improve Man United
Manchester United need to improve their attacking unit and they need to sign a reliable goalscorer this summer. However, they cannot afford to let a talented young player like Hojlund leave the club.
Meanwhile, Osimhen is one of the best attackers in the world and he helped Napoli win the league title during the 2022/23 season. He will feel that he has proven himself in Italian football, and he could look to test himself at another league now. The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be an exciting one for him.
The Nigerian international scored 17 goals in all competitions last season and he could be the ideal partner for Hojlund in the attack. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can convince Napoli to sell the player with a lucrative proposal..
