Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Manchester United, as revealed by Turkish journalist Serdar Çelikler. The Nigerian international, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been in sensational form this season, netting 29 goals and providing six assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.
Manchester United is actively seeking a top striker to address their attacking woes, following Rasmus Hojlund’s disappointing season with only three Premier League goals. While Osimhen’s personal terms have reportedly been finalized, negotiations between United and Napoli over the transfer fee remain ongoing. Although his release clause is set at €75 million (£63m), reports suggest Napoli might offer a discount to facilitate the deal.
Juventus has also shown interest in the prolific forward, but Napoli is unwilling to sell to a direct Serie A rival, giving Manchester United an edge in the race. However, Osimhen’s desire to play Champions League football next season could play a pivotal role in the final decision. As a contingency, United has identified alternative targets, including Liam Delap and Jean-Philippe Mateta, should the deal fall through.
The potential transfer has sparked excitement among fans, who are eagerly awaiting further updates on Osimhen’s future.
