Man United race to sign £64m striker

(NLDO) – Having expressed interest in Victor Osimhen many times, Man United is determined to get the signature of the Nigerian striker this summer.

According to Italian media, Man United has "reached a basic agreement" with Napoli on the transfer of Victor Osimhen. This famous striker is playing the last 6 weeks of his loan contract at Galatasaray with an impressive record.

Victor Osimhen is playing for Galatasaray

The Niegrian striker has scored 30 goals in 35 appearances for Galatasaray and is on the verge of a Super Lig and Turkish Cup double this season. Galatasaray are five points clear of Fenerbahce in the Super Lig and will face either Trabzonspor or Goztepe in the Turkish Cup final in May.

No longer in Napoli's plans, Victor Osimhen seemed to have joined Chelsea at the end of last summer's transfer window. However, several problems prevented "The Blues" from reaching an agreement with the Naples team regarding Victor Osimhen's move to the foggy country.

Many big teams in Europe have been following Osimhen for the past few seasons.

Man United have sent experts to monitor Osimhen's situation at Napoli for a long time, even before the striker left Serie A to join Galatasaray. Therefore, this is the time for Man United to continue to intervene and promote negotiations with Napoli to buy Osimhen, according to Tuttosport .

Many sources and Italian press confirmed that Man United has basically "finished an agreement" with Osimhen on salary, but the English team has not yet agreed on a transfer fee with Napoli.

The 26-year-old has a £64m release clause in his Napoli contract which can only be activated by clubs outside Italy.

Man United is interested in Matheus Cunha...

In an interview with the press last month, Osimhen shared: "I play for one of the best teams in Turkey and the world , so I really appreciate Galatasaray. I am very happy to be here and have a stable life with my family. For me, the most important thing is the success of the team, not the transfer."

...and Liam Delap

Galatasaray are keen to keep Osimhen on a long-term deal but admit they face strong competition from five European giants. Galatasaray vice-president Abdullah Kavukcu said: "Many top clubs are interested in Osimhen but it seems he has a lot of affection for Galatasaray. In January, there were rumours of a move away but Osimhen stayed because of his affection for Galatasaray. Osimhen is the type of player that every team would like to have."

Xavi Simmons (RB Leipzig) is also in Man United's sights.

In addition to Victor Osimhen, the list of strikers in Man United's sights also includes Liam Delap (Ipswich Town) priced at 30 million pounds and Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton) priced at 62.5 million pounds. Not to mention his former student Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting Lisbon) who has always been favored by coach Ruben Amorim, despite the Swedish star flatly refusing to go to Man United.
