MANCHESTER UNITED is reportedly quickly becoming a frontrunner in the race to recruit Victor Osimhen this summer.
The 25-year-old Napoli star’s contract has a release clause valued at approximately £94 million, therefore he will soon be available for transfer.
After Sir Jim Ratcliffe became a partial owner of Manchester United, the club was prepared for a banner summer.
Being more “forward thinking” in their approach to player transfers is something the Red Devils are keen to achieve.
The Independent claims that United executives will consider Osimhen as a perfect signing because of his versatility and age.
If Manchester United were to sign the Nigerian international, Rasmus Hojlund would have another alternative up top if United were to sign Osimhen.
There will be a free transfer for Anthony Martial, and Marcus Rashford would be happier playing on the left wing.
The summer of this year will see Osimhen’s Napoli contract expire after two years.
The Red Devils will face stiff competition from other clubs if they want to sign him.
The former Lille attacker is attracting interest from Premier League rivals Chelsea and Arsenal.
