Manchester United target Victor Osimhen has claimed that he will not make a decision on his future until the end of the season.
The Red Devils are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements, having failed time and time again to put the ball in the back of the net in the Premier League.
United have been linked to forwards such Benjamin Sesko, Liam Delap and Matheus Cunha to fill the gaps.
One name that has not gone away however, is that of Galatasaray’s on-loan star Osimhen.
Ruben Amorim’s side are said to be in “pole position” to sign the 26 year old as Chelsea have reportedly left the race for him.
In addition, SSC Napoli are prepared to offer United the player at a discount so that he is kept out of reach of their Serie A rivals, Juventus.
Nonetheless, 90 Min carry comments from Osimhen that state he is not yet ready to make a decision on his next club.
Commenting on his future he stated, “a decision will be made at the end of the season about what will be best for everyone. Galatasaray will forever be in my heart.”
The fact that no decision will be made until the end of the season could be good news for United. If they win the Europa League, they will be in a much stronger position to sign the Nigerian.
Elaborating on his time in Istanbul he claimed, “there are always rumours about me, of course, but I prefer to live in the moment.”
“I am enjoying myself right now; I am enjoying both the club and my life here. The fans have also been incredibly supportive since the first day.”
The Nigerian international has bagged 29 goals in 33 matches for the Turks this season.
He also has much still to achieve this season as Galatasaray are only three points ahead of Fenerbahce in the league with seven games to go and are also in the semi-final of the cup where they will face Konyaspor.
