REVEALED: Main reason behind Victor Osimhen secret visit to Manchester United Medical room today – As His deal to Man united set to be confirmed in the next 24hrs
Manchester United, the esteemed club with three UEFA Champions League titles to its name, is reportedly eager to acquire Victor Osimhen from Napoli, according to Soccernet.ng.
Victor Osimhen, who was named the 2023 CAF Player of the Year, had an outstanding 2022/2023 season with Napoli. He played a crucial role in securing the league title for his team, topped the league’s goal-scoring charts, and achieved an impressive 8th place in the Ballon d’Or rankings.
At 25 years old, Osimhen has attracted the attention of several top European clubs. Chelsea and Arsenal are leading the chase for the former LOSC Lille forward, though negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly stalled.
However, Manchester United remains a strong contender for Osimhen’s signature. As reported by CalcioNapoli24, the Red Devils have proposed a player-plus-cash deal to Napoli. This offer aims to rejuvenate the club’s football culture under the ownership of Jim Ratcliffe. Specifically, Manchester United has suggested a deal involving both cash and their player Rasmus Hojlund in exchange for Osimhen. It remains to be seen if Napoli will find this proposal acceptable.
Rasmus Hojlund, who joined Manchester United last season, had a promising debut under the management of Erik Ten Haag. It would be somewhat surprising if the club chose to part with him after just one season.
While Napoli seems open to the idea of Osimhen’s departure, the striker’s ultimate destination remains uncertain. Although a swap deal appeals to the Italian club, their new coach, Antonio Conte, has expressed interest in bringing Romelu Lukaku to Napoli.
In addition to pursuing Osimhen, Manchester United has engaged in talks with Bologna’s striker Joshua Orobosa Zirkzee, with positive outcomes. It is believed that Bologna would be willing to let the Dutch forward go if they receive an offer in the region of €45 million.
Victor Osimhen is determined to prove his abilities in the English Premier League, and the football world is keenly watching to see which club will secure his talents.
