His prolific performances have cemented his status as one of the most clinical centre-forwards in Europe, attracting interest from top clubs across the continent, while Galatasaray remains eager to secure his services on a permanent deal.

Now, fresh reports have emerged regarding the Super Eagles striker’s next destination, adding a new twist to the ongoing speculation about his future.

Osimhen’s next move: Where will the Super Eagles star land this summer?

According to reports in the English media, Osimhen has expressed his willingness to join Manchester United this summer.

With Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee struggling for consistency in front of goal, the Red Devils are actively searching for a prolific striker. As a result, they have set their sights on the 26-year-old, who is reportedly a player admired by United manager Ruben Amorim.

The reports, as per TBR, further state that the Premier League giants have been informed that Osimhen would be willing to move to Old Trafford without Champions League football.

Osimhen, who remains under contract with Napoli until June 2027, will see his release clause reduced from €130 million to €75 million (£63m, $81m) this summer, potentially making him a more accessible target for interested clubs.
