Manchester United have reportedly begun discussions over the potential signing of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, as the club intensifies its search for a top-class center-forward ahead of the next season.
Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has been one of the most sought-after strikers in world football following his impressive goal-scoring record in recent seasons. United’s interest in the Super Eagles forward comes as they look to strengthen their attacking options, with current forwards struggling for consistency.
Sources close to Manchester United indicate that discussions have started with Osimhen’s representatives, with the club keen on securing the 25-year-old’s signature before the summer transfer window closes. However, the deal won’t come easy, as Napoli still values Osimhen highly and will demand a substantial fee if United wants to make the move permanent.
Manchester United will also face competition from other European giants, including Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, both of whom have previously expressed interest in signing the Nigerian striker.
Despite the ongoing negotiations, Osimhen has remained focused on his current stint at Galatasaray, where he has been delivering impressive performances, helping the club remain competitive in the Turkish league and continental competitions.
With United’s need for a reliable goal-scorer becoming more urgent, the coming weeks will determine whether Osimhen makes the highly anticipated move to Old Trafford.
