According to The Independent, Premier League giants, Manchester United, are preparing an offer of €110m as they hope to seal the transfer of Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, during the next transfer window.
With Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS Group’s recent 25% stake acquisition of the club, the Premier League giants are embarking on a massive overhauling of their squad ahead of next season.
INEOS are ready to make a statement in the transfer market after reports that Manchester United are ahead of Paris Saint-Germain and Premier League rivals, Arsenal and Chelsea, in the race for Osimhen.
The Independent wrote: “The Nigerian forward has 13 goals this season and helped Napoli win Serie A last time around. Osimhen is wanted by Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and a host of other top teams. He is said to have a €110m release clause in the new contract he signed in Naples recently.”
Despite missing the majority of the 2023/24 season due to injuries and his involvement with Nigeria at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, Osimhen still has 14-goal involvement (11 goals and three assists) in 16 appearances in the Serie A.
The Super Eagles player has been in Superb form for Napoli, guiding the Serie A club to their first league victory in 33 years with 26 goals in 32 Serie A games last season, and 31 goals in all competitions.
