Victor Osimhen has made his feelings clear on Man Utd transfer as club ‘plots huge bid’ for striker.
Victor Osimhen has previously commented on the prospect of joining Manchester United and playing in the Premier League, as rumors about his future gain traction. Recent reports indicate the Red Devils are preparing a significant bid to secure the Nigerian striker.
In the summer transfer window, Osimhen was heavily linked with a move away from Napoli, with Chelsea and Al Ahli expressing interest. However, the prolific forward surprised many by joining Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray on loan.
As the January transfer window approaches, speculation suggests Osimhen could leave Napoli for good. His Galatasaray loan reportedly includes a mid-season break clause, potentially allowing him to switch clubs during the window.
Spanish outlet Fichajes claims Manchester United is prepared to activate Osimhen’s £62 million (€75 million) release clause to bring him to Old Trafford. Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are also rumored to be pursuing the 25-year-old forward, further intensifying the race for his signature.
Osimhen’s impressive track record includes 76 goals in 133 matches for Napoli, cementing his reputation as one of Europe’s top strikers. He has continued to shine at Galatasaray, scoring 12 goals in 15 appearances this season.
In 2022, when linked with a move to Manchester United, Osimhen told Il Mattino that while he acknowledged the club’s stature, his focus was on achieving success with Napoli. He described the Serie A club as one of the best in Italy and emphasized his commitment to the season at hand.
Speaking about the Premier League to Corriere Della Sera the same year, Osimhen acknowledged that playing in the league is a dream for many players but stated it wasn’t something he was actively considering at the time. Instead, he reiterated his dedication to Napoli’s ongoing campaign.
With top clubs vying for his signature, Osimhen’s next move could be a defining chapter in his career, further elevating his status in world football.
