As the summer transfer window approaches, Victor Osimhen of Napoli has been linked to Manchester United and Chelsea.

Victor Osimhen would reportedly be available for Manchester United to sign at the end of the current campaign for £107 million. This season, the Napoli star has been in incredible form, tallying 16 goals in just 17 Serie A contests to increase his team’s chances of capturing the Scudetto. At the end of the season, a potential transfer to the Premier League could be in the works.

Last month, Manchester United strengthened their assault by bringing in Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley for the remainder of the campaign.

Erik ten Hag wants a new No. 9, regardless of how the Netherlands international performs from now until the end of the season.

Anthony Martial will probably leave United at the end of the season, while Mason Greenwood’s future is also up in the air.

And according to Sport Witness and Gazzetta dello Sport, the Red Devils are willing to spend a staggering £107 million to sign Osimhen at the end of the current campaign.

The Nigerian international has been in exceptional form this year, and Napoli’s victories have helped them to the top of the Serie A standings.

If United were to sign Osimhen for that sum, the forward would become their most expensive acquisition ever.

It would surpass the £89 million they spent to re-sign Paul Pogba in the 2016 summer transfer window, when Jose Mourinho was in charge.

Additionally, the cost would exceed the £86 million and £80 million the club paid for Harry and Antony Maguire, respectively, in recent years.

The issue for United is that Chelsea is also considering a move of their own.

Despite making significant purchases in January, the Blues were unable to get a new striker and still feel that more additions are required.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is anticipated to be released by Chelsea at the end of the current campaign, particularly in light of their choice to leave him off of their Champions League roster.

Additionally, the Blues are prepared to compete with United for Osimhen’s services after selling Timo Werner last year.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, according to the magazine, are more prospective suitors.

Realists are aware that Karim Benzema, a France international who is 35 years old, is nearing the end of his career.

The striker’s injuries have started to bother him as well, and Los Blancos has the financial might to sign Osimhen.

Since the Polish international moved to Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski’s goals have been missed by Bayern.

And it is yet unknown where Osimhen will ultimately end up.

Louis Saha, a former United striker, reportedly bemoaned his team’s selection of Weghorst over Osimhen last month.

The retiring striker stated, “I want to give [Wout] Weghorst a chance because he’s an international striker who can provide Manchester United a solution.

It goes without saying that I would have adored to see them sign a forward like Victor Osimhen.

“I believe he was a lost target when he left Lille for Napoli two years ago.

He ought to have been signed by now, but his price will now likely exceed what Napoli spent for him.

He is a player with exceptional technical ability who is also quite physical and clinical in front of goal.

Few players in Europe suit his description, and it can be difficult to find strikers with his level of precision and ability to make the difference.
