Manchester United are gearing up for a potential swoop for Victor Osimhen in January, according to reports by Sacha Tavolieri.
The 25-year-old Nigerian striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has emerged as a key target for the Red Devils. With a break clause in his loan deal, United could seize the opportunity to bring him to Old Trafford.
Osimhen was a top target for Chelsea in the last transfer window, but financial disagreements saw the deal collapse. Napoli, however, are firm on their stance, demanding his €75m release clause to be met—leaving no room for negotiation.
United’s interest comes amidst Marcus Rashford’s struggles under new boss Ruben Amorim. The English forward has been benched in recent games, raising speculation about a potential departure in January. Osimhen is seen as an ideal replacement, given his prolific record and ability to lead the line effectively.
Discussions have reportedly begun with Osimhen’s representatives, but securing the striker won’t be easy. Napoli’s valuation, coupled with competition from Chelsea, could make this a high-stakes battle. United’s ambition to add firepower to their attack may hinge on their willingness to meet the hefty price tag.
