Man United, PSG Lead Race To Sign In-Demand Osimhen.
Reports say Manchester United have reportedly emerged as
one of the front-runners to sign Napoli’s Victor Osimhen in the summer.
Being available at €110m (£94m) if his release clause is
met means Osimhen is set to be one of the sought after forwards in Europe,
especially if his recent uptick in form continues.
After playing a pivotal role in firing Napoli to their
first Scudetto in over 30 years last season, Osimhen has become a figure of
constant interest regarding a potential move away from Serie A.
Scoring 26 league goals won Osimhen the accolade of Serie
A Forward of the Season, while his attacking partner Khvicha Kvaratskhelia won
the league’s MVP award.
Across all competitions, the Nigerian has scored just 13
so far, but recent weeks suggest that, under new management, Osimhen could add
to that tally significantly before May.
After netting a crucial equaliser in their Champions
League last 16 first leg against Barcelona, Osimhen also found the net against
Cagliari, before scoring a hat trick away to Sassuolo.
Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be interested,
considering that Kylian Mbappe is set to leave for Real Madrid.
Osimhen will be back in action for Napoli when the
Partenopei welcome Torino to the Maradona in Serie A on Friday.
