In the latest transfer buzz, Manchester United has surged ahead in the race to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, valued at a staggering €110 million.
Manchester United are being considered as the frontrunners to sign Napoli forward Victor Osimhen in the summer.
United are set to face stiff competition from Paris Saint-Germain, who reportedly want to make a statement in the summer transfer window.
Reports indicate that the Red Devils are intensifying their efforts to secure the signature of the prolific forward, who has been in scintillating form for his current club.
Osimhen, known for his clinical finishing and versatility in attack, has attracted interest from several top clubs across Europe. However, Manchester United has emerged as the leading contenders to land the coveted striker.
With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keen to bolster his squad’s attacking options, the potential acquisition of Osimhen would represent a significant coup for the Premier League giants.
The Red Devils will also have to compete with fellow Premier League sides Arsenal and Chelsea to secure the signature of the Napoli star, according to the Independent.
PSG are also keen on adding firepower to their attack with Kylian Mbappe set to depart the club to join Real Madrid in the summer.
Osimhen has a €110m (£94m/$119m) release clause in his existing contract.
The 23-year-old striker has been in impressive form, consistently finding the back of the net and showcasing his immense talent on the pitch. His goal-scoring exploits have not gone unnoticed, with top clubs vying for his services ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Manchester United’s pursuit of Osimhen signals their ambition to strengthen their squad and compete at the highest level both domestically and in European competitions.
As negotiations progress, football fans eagerly await updates on Osimhen’s potential move to Old Trafford, with the prospect of seeing the Nigerian star don the iconic red jersey generating excitement among supporters.
