Victor Osimhen agrees to join Manchester United in €75m Deal

‎Manchester United have reportedly struck an "agreement in principle" with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen ahead of a high-profile summer move, according to Tuttosport. The Red Devils are believed to be ready to activate the Nigerian forward's €75 million (£64m/$86m) release clause in an ambitious attempt to revamp their struggling attack.

‎The 26-year-old goal machine, currently on loan at Turkish giants Galatasaray, has reignited his career with a sensational run of form—netting 30 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions this season. Galatasaray have expressed interest in making the move permanent, but the lure of Premier League football and a leading role at Old Trafford could prove decisive.

‎

‎Osimhen was the subject of strong interest from several English clubs last summer, notably Manchester United and Chelsea, but Napoli's steep valuation and a deteriorating relationship with the player led to a temporary exit instead. With his release clause now within reach and his rapport with Napoli reportedly beyond repair, the door appears open for a transfer.

‎

‎United’s pursuit is understood to include a possible player exchange, with young Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund being considered as part of the deal. Hojlund has struggled to find consistency, scoring just eight times in 45 appearances for the Red Devils this season.

‎

‎Manager Ruben Amorim, under pressure after a dismal Premier League campaign that sees United languishing in 14th place, is believed to view Osimhen as a cornerstone signing for a summer rebuild. As they prepare to face Bournemouth this weekend, the urgency to reshape the squad is clear.

‎

‎With United desperate for a clinical finisher and Osimhen eager for a fresh challenge, the pieces may be aligning for one of the summer's biggest transfers.
