Victor Osimhen is at the center of major transfer speculation ahead of the summer window, with Manchester United reportedly reaching an agreement in principle to sign the Nigerian striker from Napoli. According to multiple sources, the expected transfer fee ranges between €30 million and €35 million, a figure influenced by Osimhen’s current contract with Napoli, which runs until 2026.
Despite his contract status, Napoli are reportedly open to negotiating, especially as Osimhen has been linked with several top clubs. His form has made him one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe, and Manchester United seem determined and favorites to beat off competition from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea to secure his signature. Osimhen's impressive performances this season have only intensified great interest from top European clubs including United.
Currently on loan at Galatasaray, Osimhen has been in phenomenal form, scoring 31 goals across all competitions. His impact at the Turkish club has been immediate and significant, recently playing a key role in their dominant 5–1 win over Konyaspor. That victory helped Galatasaray reach the Turkish Cup final for the first time in six years, highlighting Osimhen’s ability to influence big matches.
Manchester United, in search of a reliable goal scorer, view Osimhen as a perfect fit for their long-term plans despite having Højlund. His blend of pace, strength, and finishing ability aligns with Manchester United's attacking philosophy. Reports suggest that the club is confident of finalizing the deal early in the summer window to avoid a bidding war with other suitors.
While Arsenal and Chelsea remain interested, the Red Devils appear to be in pole position. The coming weeks will be crucial as the clubs iron out final details. Should the move go through, Osimhen would become a central figure in United’s rebuild under Ruben Amorim, adding firepower and dynamism to their frontline.
