Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has become the center of transfer speculation, with reports linking him to a high-profile move to Manchester United.
The Nigerian striker, who has dazzled in the Turkish Super League, may be on the verge of a sensational January transfer.
Osimhen’s impressive performances, including a standout display against Kayserispor, have cemented his place as a fan favourite at Galatasaray. However, his future with the Istanbul-based club now appears uncertain, with the English Premier League powerhouse reportedly setting their sights on him.
According to El Nacional, Ruben Amorim, the new manager of Manchester United, has identified Osimhen as a top priority in his January transfer plans. Amorim, who recently replaced Erik ten Hag, is eager to rebuild the squad, and Osimhen has emerged as the first name on his transfer wishlist.
Reports suggest that Manchester United is preparing an offer to meet the €75 million release clause in Osimhen’s contract. This move highlights their determination to secure the star striker and bolster their attacking options mid-season.
Osimhen, who has previously been linked with Premier League clubs, is said to be interested in a move to England. The player reportedly prefers a new challenge in the Premier League rather than returning to Italy.
Since joining Galatasaray, Osimhen has delivered a remarkable performance, scoring 12 goals and providing 5 assists in 15 matches. His contributions have been instrumental to the team’s success, and his potential departure would leave a significant gap in Galatasaray’s attack.
