Napoli’s star striker, Victor Osimhen, has reportedly made his feelings clear regarding a potential transfer to Manchester United as the Premier League club is said to be preparing a ‘huge bid’ to secure the Nigerian’s services.
Osimhen, who has been a key figure in Napoli’s attack, is widely regarded as one of Europe’s top forwards after a stellar season in Serie A, netting a series of goals and helping Napoli to reclaim the league title. His form has drawn the attention of major European clubs, with Manchester United among the frontrunners in the race to sign him.
According to sources close to the player, Osimhen has shown a keen interest in the prospect of joining Manchester United but insists that his decision will be based on both personal and professional factors. The 25-year-old is reportedly excited by the idea of playing in the Premier League, but is focused on ensuring that his next move will be the right step in his career, particularly in terms of team development and project ambition.
United is said to be preparing a substantial offer in the January transfer window, with a figure exceeding €100 million, according to insiders. The Red Devils see Osimhen as the ideal man to lead their attack, particularly given their struggles in the striker position this season.
While the Nigerian international’s preference for a Premier League switch is clear, Napoli’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has made it known that the club is not eager to part ways with their prized asset unless their demands are met, adding a layer of complexity to the potential deal.
Osimhen’s current contract with Napoli runs until 2025, and while talks over an extension have reportedly stalled, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United’s aggressive pursuit will convince the player to make the move in the upcoming transfer window.
As the January transfer market approaches, all eyes will be on whether Manchester United can meet Napoli’s asking price and secure one of the most coveted strikers in
world football.
