Fabrizio Romano Says Manchester United Could Exit Race for £63M-Rated Juventus, PSG Target | OneFootball

PSG have kept tabs on Victor Osimhen for more than a year, and with the summer transfer window approaching, speculation around the striker’s future is starting to build.

According to GIVE ME SPORT, Manchester United are becoming increasingly worried, as PSG are now seen as frontrunners to land the 26-year-old. The French club are reportedly willing to meet Osimhen’s wage demands and trigger his £63 million release clause—giving them an edge over both Manchester United and Chelsea in the race.

Foot Mercato also reported this week that Osimhen has reopened talks with Manchester United. The Premier League side, still in the market for a proven No. 9, have resumed negotiations where they previously left off. The terms reportedly include a €12 million annual salary for Osimhen and a total package worth €75 million—including bonuses—for Napoli.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Galatasaray and Juventus remain interested in Victor Osimhen, while Manchester United are hesitant due to his high wage demands but haven’t completely ruled out a move.

According to TEAMtalk, Galatasaray’s desire to sign him permanently is strong, but they’ll have to fend off interest from at least seven other European clubs. Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all keeping tabs on him, while Juventus, AC Milan, PSG and Real Madrid are also monitoring the situation.

The report adds that there’s no clear frontrunner at the moment, and Osimhen isn’t rushing to make a decision, something he already showed by turning down the Al-Hilal offer.
