Manchester United Eyes Acquisition of Victor Osimhen
Victor Osimhen made a surprising move to Galatasaray Istanbul during the last summer transfer window from SSC Napoli. The 25-year-old striker’s relocation to the Bosphorus was unexpected, yet the Nigerian quickly adapted and won the hearts of the club’s supporters. Many media outlets suggest that the Lions’ management will attempt to either purchase Victor Osimhen outright or extend his stay until the end of his loan period this season.
This scenario might not materialize, though, as one of Europe’s major football powerhouses, Manchester United, is closely monitoring the prolific striker’s situation. According to the Italian newspaper “Il Mattino,” the Red Devils are contemplating triggering the release clause of the 35-time Nigerian international. Such a move would require an investment of around 62 million pounds, a sum that doesn’t seem to pose a hurdle for the decision-makers at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim, the new coach of the Red Devils, recognizes the need for bolstering the attacking line. Victor Osimhen, with his impressive performances in Turkey, would be a valuable addition, guaranteeing numerous goals each season.
Standing at 186 centimeters tall, the sharpshooter has played 13 matches this season, netting 10 goals and providing 5 assists. It’s worth mentioning that the Nigerian star celebrated a Serie A title in the 2022/2023 campaign, also winning the golden boot for being the top scorer in the league during that same season.
