Manchester United Prepared to Launch a Bid for Victor Osimhen
Manchester United are interested in signing Napoli forward Victor Osimhen. The Nigeria international has established himself as among the most talented attackers in Europe since joining the Italian outfit from Lille in the summer transfer window of 2020.
He has played 38 games (in all competitions) for the Blues so far, scoring 18 goals and assisting six more. Osinhen won the Seria A Best Young Player award last season.
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are preparing a £107 million bid to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli. That would make him the joint-most expensive player in British football history.
Victor Osimhen is currently among the most in-form strikers in Europe. He has registered 16 goals and three assists in 17 Serie A games this season. The 24-year-old attacker has also scored one goal in three UEFA Champions League appearances so far this term.
Chelsea are another Premier League club that have shown interest in signing the Nigeria international in recent weeks. Napoli are likely to demand a massive transfer fee to sell him.
Floriana coach Victor Osimhen has suggested Napoli should not sell Victor Osimhen. He believes that the Naples outfit would struggle to replace the Nigeria international if they let him leave.
Manchester United are currently third in the Premier League table, with 42 points from 21 games. They will next lock horns against Leeds United in a Premier League game at Old Trafford on February 9.
Meanwhile, Napoli will next play against Cremonse in the league on February 13. Victor Osimhen is expected to feature in the game.
