Victor Osimhen’s transfer saga was one of the major stories last summer, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly battling for the Nigerian striker’s signature.
Now, after regaining the form that made him a standout in the 2022-23 season at Galatasaray, he is set to attract even more interest from Europe’s top clubs next year.
Following a failed move away from Napoli, the 25-year-old joined Galatasaray on loan, where he has been in excellent form. In just 15 appearances this season, he has scored 12 goals and provided five assists.
Tuttomercatoweb reports that Osimhen’s release clause is around €80 million in January, potentially dropping to €70 million next summer. RMC Sport has also reported that PSG have made contact with the striker, who is aware of their interest but is content in Turkey, where he has been warmly welcomed.
According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal and Chelsea are also considering forward options, with Osimhen and Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović among their targets.
Napoli are willing to get creative with a player swap deal
TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey reported on Tuesday, citing sources, that Manchester United have been approached by intermediaries with the opportunity to sign Osimhen.
Manchester United’s footballing department, currently led by Jason Wilcox, are reportedly evaluating their options. However, the English club are not in a position to make a straight £60 million deal. The report also mentions that Napoli are considering accepting a player in exchange for the 25-year-old.
The Italian club are reportedly interested in three United attackers, two of which are Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee, both of whom have impressed in Serie A, with Højlund having a strong stint at Atalanta and Zirkzee scoring 12 goals in Italy’s top flight last season. Marcus Rashford is also reportedly available to leave Manchester, and Napoli have an admiration for the England international.
Give them Zirkzee AND Rashford in a straight swop all day long, no brainer. Off load two surpless players with a wage bill of approx £475.000 a week and get a proven goal scorer wherever he’s played, younger and on less wages. What are we waiting for ?????
Rashford and Zirkzee is a good deal for Straight swap with Osimhem. Dont wait and time wasting dont just NATO.
If they are prepared to accept Rashford and Zirkzee
then they should make this deal ASAP . A top striker would make a massive difference to United . So bring this move on
The only problem is that Manchester United is not in a good position on the league table for champions league and this might work against the interest of Osihme joining the club. And if the player is not interested, there is nothing the club can do. It takes three to make a player’s transfer work.
But galatasary are not playing In the champions league. I don’t think lack of UCL football can hinder the move.
Do you think osimhem he can play well at club if he want to remove Galatasary and napoli to be come man utd i don’t he can accept it in january let us see what is happend. Happy merry christmas to everyone
