Manchester United are looking at all options to sign priority strike target Victor Osimhen this summer.
The Nigerian striker has been on loan with Galatasaray as Antonio Conte doesn’t see Osimhen in his plans at Napoli.
Despite his 26 goals and five assists in 31 games, Conte has no interest in integrating Osimhen back into the Serie A squad after his loan is over.
The 26-year-old has recently been offered to LaLiga giants Barcelona, however with Napoli trying to incite a bidding war for the striker, Barca are reportedly not interested.
However, United are determined to sign the striker despite his £63 million release clause.
As a way of trying to reduce the fee United would need to pay, The Red Devils looked to offer a player swap deal with Rasmus Hojlund included, trying to cash in on Conte’s appreciation of the Danish international.
Now, The Daily Mail has reported that United are now looking at a new swap deal including Alejandro Garnacho.
The Argentine winger was targeted by Napoli over the winter transfer window, being considered as the top target to succeed Khvicha Kvaratskhelia after his move to PSG.
The report expresses that United might be looking to use Garnacho in negotiations to lower the transfer fee for Victor Osimhen or remove it entirely as a straight player-swap.
However, this could be a huge blow with Garnacho proving himself last season under Erik ten Hag and being one of United’s top goalscorers this season with Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failing to routinely find the net.
