Manchester United Targets Victor Osimhen as Rashford's Winter Replacement

Manchester United is actively seeking to strengthen their attacking lineup amid strong speculations about Marcus Rashford's potential departure this winter. Reports indicate that the club has initiated discussions with Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker under contract with Napoli and currently on loan at Galatasaray.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray on a loan deal in September and has delivered impressive performances, scoring 12 goals and providing 5 assists in 15 appearances. His contract with Napoli includes a release clause valued at €90 million, which decreases to €80 million at the season's end. However, sources suggest that Napoli might consider a transfer in January for approximately €75 million, potentially compensating Galatasaray for the early termination of his loan.

It's reported that Manchester United has already reached personal terms with Osimhen regarding a move to Old Trafford. The club is currently facing challenges in their offensive lineup and views Osimhen as a suitable replacement for Rashford, should his anticipated departure materialize during the winter transfer window.
