Napoli Considers Selling Victor Osimhen to Manchester United
Napoli is reportedly open to transferring Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to Manchester United during the January transfer window, with his market value now estimated at €75 million.
Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian forward, was loaned from Napoli to Galatasaray during the summer transfer window. Since joining the Turkish league leaders, he has netted 12 goals in 15 official matches, showcasing his striking prowess.
Despite his success in Turkey, Osimhen's ambition to play in the Premier League remains strong. Recent reports suggest that Manchester United's new manager, Ruben Amorim, is keen on overhauling the squad, placing Osimhen at the top of his acquisition list. Napoli, aware of this interest, is reportedly eager to negotiate a deal with the English club during the upcoming January transfer window.
Osimhen's market value has seen a decline since his loan move to Turkey. Once valued at €120 million, his current worth is estimated at around €75 million, which is likely to be the asking price Napoli will set for the transfer.
Manchester United's current striker options have not met expectations. Rasmus Højlund has struggled to impress under Amorim, and Marcus Rashford has been sidelined from the squad due to disciplinary reasons. This situation intensifies United's pursuit of a reliable goal scorer, making Osimhen a prime target for the Red Devils.
