Victor Osimhen stance on joining Manchester United Revealed

The Nigerian striker is currently on loan at Galatasaray.

Fabrizio Romano says Victor Osimhen is “open” to joining Manchester United in summer transfer, but salaries are still a “key point” in any possible agreement.

It is obvious that Victor Osimhen will be among the most sought-after strikers available during the summer transfer window given the latest Manchester United rumours. With more than 25 G/A in Turkey thus far, his effect at Galatasaray has been enormous, as it has been throughout his career.

With Osimhen officially returning to Napoli following the loan move, this chapter is probably coming to an end in the summer.

Those close to the player and the team have made it apparent that the Nigerian striker is not anticipated to stay for the upcoming campaign. His entire attention is now on Galatasaray until the conclusion of the season, but he is departing and open to a new chapter.

A special condition in Osimhen’s contract with Napoli states that if the team is unable to sell the player by the end of June, the renowned €120 million release clause from last year will be changed this summer. In that scenario, the contract is extended for a further season and the clause is reduced to €75–80 million.

Since interest in Osimhen has begun but has not yet reached a high level, this clearly becomes a huge chance for all clubs interested in him, including those from the Premier League.

Although there are many rumours related to Manchester United since they are keeping an eye on a number of strikers, such as Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres, the budget will be essential to determine what they can actually spend in the summer.

According to people familiar with the matter, all reports that Man United scouts are going to Galatasaray to monitor Osimhen’s development are untrue because they don’t even need to “check” on this type of player—they like him—but the money package will be the deciding factor, which is same with Gyokeres.
