Victor Osimhen is a man in superb form!
Osimhen's dream move to Manchester United has reportedly taken a major hit
Premier League giants Manchester United have reportedly shifted their focus from Nigeria's Victor Osimhen to his ex-Napoli teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The potential deal could involve Red Devils forward Marcus Rashford, who has expressed interest in seeking a new challenge away from Old Trafford.
Kvaratskhelia emerges as Rashford replacement
However, TEAMtalk has revealed that Kvaratskhelia's name also surfaced in the discussions, with the 23-year-old winger being seen as a like-for-like replacement for Rashford, making him an appealing option for the Red Devils.
Kvaratskhelia's contract negotiations with Napoli have stalled, fueling speculation about his openness to a move.
While Napoli has shown reluctance to part ways with the highly-rated winger in January, a summer transfer might remain on the cards if no agreement is reached.
Rashford's future still up in the air
England international Rashford's position at United has grown increasingly uncertain after being left out of several key matches under manager Ruben Amorim.
His public statement about wanting a "new challenge" only made relations with his new manager worse, with a potential departure now very likely.
Napoli's willingness to include Rashford in a swap deal for Kvaratskhelia or Osimhen could provide a resolution for all parties involved.
However, Napoli is reportedly more open to letting Osimhen go due to strained relations following a failed move to Chelsea last summer making the possibility of a Rashford-Kvaratskhelia swap unlikely this January.
