MU 'changes its mind' about Osimhen

Man Utd have surprisingly resumed negotiations with Osimhen after the player refused to join Al Hilal.

MU is making efforts to find a quality center forward.

According to the Manchester Evening News , Victor Osimhen could be the leading name in Manchester United's attack next season. However, MU has set two conditions for signing the Nigerian striker: he must genuinely want to move to Old Trafford, and Osimhen must accept a pay cut.

Unlike Viktor Gyokeres, Osimhen has proven his talent in one of Europe's top four leagues. Last season, the 1998-born player maintained his impressive form with 37 goals for Galatasaray. The price to sign Napoli's "surplus" player is around 75 million euros.

MU also has an advantage in negotiations, as Napoli is also eyeing Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund. The Red Devils could use Hojlund along with a sum of money to exchange for Osimhen's services.

Meanwhile, despite Gyokeres expressing his desire to join MU, Sporting Lisbon reneged on the deal, denying the player's €60 million release clause. The Portuguese champions announced they would sell the 1998-born striker for no less than €80 million.

Previously, Osimhen seemed poised to move to Al Hilal for a salary of 30 million euros per season, but the deal fell through at the last minute because the 27-year-old wanted to continue playing in Europe. Besides Manchester United, Arsenal are also closely monitoring the Nigerian international and are ready to roll out the red carpet for the 2022/23 Serie A top scorer.
