Man Utd Willing to Pay £62m to Sign ‘World-Class’ Star for Amorim

Manchester United is competing with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain for the 26-year-old striker Victor Osimhen, and they are willing to pay his release clause,” Fichajes states.

Osimhen has been identified as a potential addition to the Red Devils’ front line in early 2025 as they search for “a quality striker.”

According to reports, Chelsea and PSG are interested in the Nigerian player before the January transfer window, and United is willing to match his £62 million release clause next month.

Osimhen’s contract with the Turkish powerhouses has a mid-season break option, which means he might eventually leave Napoli permanently next month. He is currently on loan at Galatasaray.

Osimhen has scored 12 goals and provided five assists in his 15 appearances for Galatasaray this season.

According to Fichajes, Napoli see Osimhen’s departure as an opportunity to make a big profit and are willing to let him go in 2025, having brought in ex-Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku as a replacement in the summer.

With three European heavyweights now circling, Osimhen’s future could reportedly be decided ‘in a matter of days’ and it remains to be seen whether United will emerge as serious contenders for his signature in January.

The Red Devils are thought to be targeting reinforcements next month, with reports suggesting a new left-sided defender remains a priority.

Marcus Rashford’s departure in early 2025 could well provide a major boost for United’s business in January, after the English forward revealed he is ‘ready for a new challenge’ away from Old Trafford.

United are reportedly valuing the forward at £40m, though his wage demands could prove to be a stumbling block for interested clubs in January
