Premier League giants Manchester United have reportedly stepped up their pursuit of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.
The 26-year-old Nigeria international is one of the most sought-after players this summer, attracting interest from top clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and most recently, Manchester United.
The competition for his signature becomes tighter each passing day, with interested clubs adopting strategies to outbid the others and win the race for Osimhen's signature.
The towering forward has featured in 27 matches across all competitions for Galatasaray this season, delivering an impressive 25 goal involvements, with 20 goals and five assists to his name.
What is Manchester United's bargaining chip to lure Victor Osimhen to Old Trafford?
According to Calciomercato, Manchester United’s proposal for Victor Osimhen includes a player-plus-cash deal, offering Danish striker Rasmus Højlund to Napoli along with a €40 million payment.
Højlund has struggled to live up to expectations, managing just 23 goals in 77 appearances for Manchester United. With the club falling short in the Premier League title race this season, the Red Devils are focused on strengthening their squad ahead of the next campaign.
Osimhen is expected to return to Napoli in the summer, with the Serie A giants willing to part ways with him if a club triggers his €75 million (£62m/$78m) release clause.
Manchester United were previously linked with the Nigerian forward in January, as reported in the media, but he chose to complete his loan spell at Galatasaray.
Napoli finds themselves at a critical juncture in the transfer market, with Osimhen's future holding significant sway over their upcoming business decisions.
