Man Utd have transfer tactical plan for Napoli star Osimhen
According to reports, Manchester United is considering making a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as an alternative to their pursuit of Tottenham star Harry Kane. The Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that United is intensifying their interest in Osimhen, although Napoli's valuation of €140 million is currently deemed too high. Instead of immediately pursuing the transfer, United is willing to wait until later in the transfer window, hoping that Napoli's president, Aurelio de Laurentiis, will lower his asking price.
De Laurentiis, during the presentation of new coach Rudi Garcia, indicated that there is a possibility of Osimhen's departure. While he initially expressed the desire for Osimhen to stay at the club, he acknowledged that if an irresistible offer were to come in, it would be considered in the best interest of Napoli. De Laurentiis stated, "I have said for a while that Osimhen has to stay. Then, if an offer came in that I could not refuse for the good of Napoli, then we would consider it, as is only natural."
Furthermore, De Laurentiis revealed that discussions have already taken place with Osimhen regarding a contract extension. A basic agreement for a two-year extension is said to be in place, although further details need to be worked out with the new coach, Rudi Garcia. De Laurentiis emphasized the importance of pre-season training in determining the squad's composition, suggesting that decisions regarding other players would be made in collaboration with the coach.
The speculation surrounding Manchester United's interest in Victor Osimhen arises as their pursuit of Harry Kane becomes more uncertain. The hefty price tag placed on Osimhen by Napoli seems to be a stumbling block at present, but United is hopeful that negotiations will progress as the transfer window progresses. Their strategy revolves around Napoli softening their stance on the player's valuation, providing an opportunity for United to make their move.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will indeed switch their focus to Victor Osimhen and whether Napoli will be willing to negotiate a more reasonable fee. As with any transfer dealings, various factors can come into play, including player preferences, contractual agreements, and financial considerations. Football fans will eagerly await further developments in this potential transfer saga.
