Napoli Willing to Accept Man Utd Swap Deal for £60M-Rated Arsenal, PSG Target | OneFootball

Victor Osimhen’s transfer saga was one of the major stories last summer, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly battling for the Nigerian striker’s signature.

Now, after regaining the form that made him a standout in the 2022-23 season at Galatasaray, he is set to attract even more interest from Europe’s top clubs next year.

Following a failed move away from Napoli, the 25-year-old joined Galatasaray on loan, where he has been in excellent form. In just 15 appearances this season, he has scored 12 goals and provided five assists.

Tuttomercatoweb reports that Osimhen’s release clause is around €80 million in January, potentially dropping to €70 million next summer. RMC Sport has also reported that PSG have made contact with the striker, who is aware of their interest but is content in Turkey, where he has been warmly welcomed.

According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal and Chelsea are also considering forward options, with Osimhen and Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović among their targets.

TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey reported on Tuesday, citing sources, that Manchester United have been approached by intermediaries with the opportunity to sign Osimhen.

Manchester United’s footballing department, currently led by Jason Wilcox, are reportedly evaluating their options. However, the English club are not in a position to make a straight £60 million deal. The report also mentions that Napoli are considering accepting a player in exchange for the 25-year-old.

The Italian club are reportedly interested in three United attackers, two of which are Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee, both of whom have impressed in Serie A, with Højlund having a strong stint at Atalanta and Zirkzee scoring 12 goals in Italy’s top flight last season. Marcus Rashford is also reportedly available to leave Manchester, and Napoli have an admiration for the England international.
