Man Utd offers player plus cash for Osimhen
Manchester United is reportedly keen on signing Super Eagles ace Victor Osimhen from Napoli in the summer transfer window.
The 25-year-old Nigerian striker has been linked with clubs like Chelsea, but a report from CalcioNapoli24 states that Manchester United are very much in the race as well. The Red Devils are reportedly plotting a player cash deal to sign the 25-year-old Napoli striker.
Manchester United have offered cash plus Rasmus Hojlund in a deal for the Napoli striker, and it will be interesting to see if the Italian giants are willing to accept such an offer. Hojlund joined Manchester United last season and he was quite impressive in his debut campaign with the Red Devils. It would be quite surprising if they decided to sanction his departure. The Denmark international is a prodigious talent with a bright future, and he could develop into a key player for the club.
Manchester United needs to improve its attacking unit and needs to sign a reliable goalscorer this summer. However, they cannot afford to let a talented young player like Hojlund leave the club.
Meanwhile, Osimhen is one of the best attackers in the world and he helped Napoli win the league title during the 2022/23 season. He will feel that he has proven himself in Italian football, and he could look to test himself at another league now. The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be an exciting one for him.
