The 26-year-old striker was adamant about moving to the English Premier League from Napoli last season, with Chelsea seemingly the most likely destination, but the move didn't happen; instead, he joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan.
Manchester United, the three-time UEFA Champions League winners, are thinking of letting go of Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund in order to raise money for Victor Osimhen's summer arrival.
In order to meet Ruben Amorim's tactical requirements, Manchester United, who are presently 13th in the English Premier League standings, are getting ready for a summer roster makeover.
The Reds have determined that Victor Osimhen is the striker who will improve the team's standing and enable them to contend with the top teams in Europe once more, although they are currently facing financial difficulties.
According to TBR, the Record Champions are thinking of selling Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho in order to increase Osimhen's fees. Manchester United is also thinking about pitching Napoli a straight-swap agreement.
Hojlund, who played for Atalanta in the past, is reportedly considering a return to Serie A. Juventus is already considering the Dane as a possible Dusan Vlahovic successor, while Arsenal is also showing interest.
After two goals in 19 Premier League games this season, with his most recent contribution coming back at the beginning of December, Hojlund has left United's administrators doubting his ability to score goals.
With the possibility of a one-year extension, Osimhen's contract with Napoli expires in the summer of 2026. The Nigerian's contract has a €75 million release clause, and Antonio Conte's team is unlikely to accept anything less.
During his season-long loan with Galatasaray, the former Lille forward has scored 17 goals and made five assists in 23 games for the Turkish Super Lig table-toppers in all competitions.
The opportunity for Osimhen to complete his desired departure from Naples has never been more favorable, as Conte appears uninterested in repairing his relationship with his player. United is just waiting to make their offer.
To acquire the former Serie A champion, the Red Devils must contend with fierce competition. Galatasaray is eager to retain the Super Eagles player following his loan stint.
Both Chelsea and Arsenal have suffered serious injuries to their starting strikers and have learned the painful lesson of lacking depth, which suggests they will make a serious summertime move for a striker. Victor Osimhen and Alexander Isak are of interest to both sides.
Osimhen's final destination when the summer transfer window opens will be greatly influenced by United's competitors' chances of competing in the UEFA Champions League the following season.
