Manchester United has emerged as the leading club in the race to sign Nigerian international Victor Osimhen, with reports suggesting the Red Devils are willing to trigger the striker’s €75m release clause this summer. The 26-year-old Napoli forward, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been in excellent form this season, scoring 20 goals and providing five assists in 25 appearances across all competitions.
United’s interest comes as other potential striker targets slip away, with clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal focusing on different players. While Osimhen’s move to Old Trafford is reportedly “95% likely,” the club is also facing competition from Paris Saint-Germain and Saudi Arabian clubs.
Despite his impressive form, Osimhen has kept his future unclear, expressing his love for Galatasaray and leaving his next move uncertain. Napoli has already rejected a €65m bid from Galatasaray, emphasizing that they will only sell the striker for his full release clause.
Manchester United is expected to be active in the summer transfer window, aiming to add several key players, including a centre-forward, defensive midfielder, centre-back, and wing-back, as they seek to strengthen their squad.
