Man United to offer first-team player in ‘package deal’ to sign ‘World-Class’ striker Victor Osimhen -Reports

Manchester United are prepared to offer a first-team player in a ‘package deal’ to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli, according to reports in Italy.

Osimhen is one of a number of top strikers who has been linked with a summer move to Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim has made signing a new No. 9 his priority this summer after Manchester United’s dismal 2024-25 campaign in which they slumped to a 15th-place finish in the Premier League.

United were one of only a few top-flight clubs not to have a single player reach double digits in the Premier League

Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirzkee’s struggles have prompted Manchester United to express interest in the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko and Osimhen

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Red Devils are ready to approach Napoli with a ‘package deal’ for Nigerian striker Osimhen

Osimhen has scored 76 goals in 133 appearances for Napoli and helped the club win the Serie A title in 2022-23

But he does not have a future at the club while Antonio Conte is in charge and was sent on loan to Galatasaray last summer after a deadline-day move to Chelsea collapsed.

Osimhen continued to impress in Turkey, bagging 37 goals in all competitions to help Galatasaray clinch the league title.

His performances caught the eye of Chelsea and Arsenal who, like Manchester United, are keen to add more firepower to their respective squads.

Osimhen is available for £63m but United, facing a difficult summer financially after failing to qualify for the Champions League, are keen to lower that fee by including a player in the deal.

Gazzetta dello Sport say the Manchester giants are considering offering Zirzkee to Napoli as they look to bring Osimhen to Old Trafford.

United spent £36.5m to sign Zirzkee from Bologna last summer but he endured an underwhelming first season in the Premier League, scoring justthree goals.
