Manchester United have reportedly made a verbal offer to Napoli to sign Victor Osimhen.
According to Turkish journalist Kağan Dursun, the Red Devils recently offered €70 million to bring the Nigerian striker to Old Trafford.
The report suggests that Napoli officials travelled to Istanbul recently to secure Osimhen’s commitment to the club, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
While Osimhen is tied to Napoli, he reportedly has an exit clause that could facilitate a move in January.
Crucially, this clause does not limit his potential destinations, making it possible for any club to negotiate a transfer if they meet Napoli’s financial demands.
United’s interest comes amid a broader need for a reliable goalscorer.
Manager Ruben Amorim is under pressure to address the team’s attacking woes, and Osimhen’s profile aligns with United’s requirements.
Amorim’s side has lacked in front of goal, missing countless chances.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee show promise but do not possess the quality to lead the line for United
With his speed, strength, and finishing ability, Osimhen could become the focal point of their attack.
Arsenal is also monitoring the situation as they seek reinforcements to compete in the Premier League and Europe.
The Gunners’ manager, Mikel Arteta, is reportedly a fan of Osimhen and views him as an ideal addition to their squad.
If Napoli are unable to secure his long-term commitment, United could seize the opportunity to sign a player who has already demonstrated his ability to perform at the highest level and deliver in critical moments.
