Victor Osimhen is on the verge of joining Manchester United – the deal is almost sealed for the Nigerian striker.
Could Victor Osimhen be Manchester United’s savior? The Red Devils are reportedly close to finalizing the transfer of the Nigerian forward, currently under contract with Napoli. According to Football365 in England, United are willing to trigger his €75 million release clause to secure his services.
Currently on loan at Galatasaray, Osimhen is having an impressive season, scoring 20 goals and providing 5 assists in 25 appearances. While he is set to return to Napoli at the end of the season, a permanent move seems imminent. FootballTransfers reports a 95% probability of a summer transfer, with Manchester United leading the race.
However, some obstacles remain. The player’s high salary, estimated at €12 million net per season, could complicate negotiations. Additionally, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are also closely monitoring the situation and could compete with the English club for his signature.
