Manchester United, are reportedly working on a deal to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as the transfer battle to secure his services intensifies,
United tried to sign the Nigerian striker last summer, with both he and Harry Kane at the top of Ten Hag’s transfer wish list.
However, neither move came to fruition. Kane completed a switch to Bayern Munich while Osimhen ended up staying at Napoli after leading them to the Scudetto for the first time in three decades.
Following recent reports that the Napoli striker is close to joining Paris Saint-Germain after being offered a four-year contract that could see him earn close to €13m, United are ready to hijack the bid.
Speaking on Radio Goal, Mpasinkatu said United are ready to enter into a bidding war for the 25-year-old striker.
United will rival Chelsea for Osimhen this summer and both clubs are “on him” – a suggestion that they’re working on a deal to lure him to their respective sides.
“From the information I have, at the moment there is talk of [Marcus] Thuram at PSG instead of Mbappe, Victor Osimhen is a better option for us, he is young and has 15 goals and four assists in 27 appearances across all competitions”.
