Manchester United have reportedly made their first official offer for striker Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian is currently on loan at Turkish club Galatasaray, where he has scored 28 goals.
His parent club, Napoli, are reportedly ready to part ways with the 26-year-old this summer, with several interested clubs circling.
Osimhen found his breakthrough in France with Ligue 1 club LOSC Lille, earning a transfer to Italian giants Napoli in 2020.
There, he went from strength to strength, and in the 2022/23 season, he won the Serie A Golden Boot by scoring 26 goals in a season in which Napoli clinched the title.
His following season was harmed by injuries, and despite still scoring 15 goals, Napoli made their intention to part ways with Osimhen clear.
No club would meet their asking price, though, and negotiations led to Osimhen signing on loan to Galatasaray.
The striker has enjoyed a productive season in Turkey, leading Galatasaray to a likely title and particularly starring in the Europa League, before Galatasaray’s exit at the hands of AZ Alkmaar.
Osimhen will now look to finally part from Napoli in the summer, and Manchester United are reportedly the latest club to make an offer for the striker’s services.
According to Turkish source Arda Ozkurt, Manchester United, as well as Arsenal, have made official offers for the forward, while Barcelona, Liverpool and PSG are closely monitoring the situation.
Should the Red Devils make the signing happen, Osimhen would add reliable goal-scoring to Ruben Amorim’s front-line, in a season in which Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund have flattered to deceive.
”Arsenal ve Manchester United, Victor Osimhen için resmi tekliflerde bulunurken, Barcelona, Liverpool ve PSG oyuncunun durumunu yakından takip ediyor.
Eğer Osimhen kalmak isterse, Galatasaray Osimhen’in bonservisini alabilmek için fedakarlık yapmaya hazır.”
