Victor Osimhen has already signed an agreement to join Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
That’s according to Africa Foot, who claim a member of the striker’s entourage has revealed that a deal is already in place with Manchester United.
Osimhen is going to be one of the big names of the summer transfer widow once again as he looks to secure a permanent exit from Napoli.
He’s spent the season on loan at Galatasaray and while they are keen to sign him on a permanent basis, the feeling is that he will be moving elsewhere.
Manchester United have long been credited with an interest in him and their problems in front of goal under Ruben Amorim have seen those links re-emerge.
Africa Foot report there is more to it than mere suggestion, though, reporting that ‘an agreement has already been signed’ for him to join Manchester United this summer. This information was ‘revealed by a member of his entourage’.
They make no mention of a transfer fee, other than estimating it at €30-35m, given his current deal with Napoli expires in 2026. They have to sell to avoid losing him on a free.
What they do report is that Osimhen’s entourage are ‘very enthusiastic’ about the idea of a move to the Premier League as Osimhen believes he can take his career to the next level playing in England.
Whether he considers Manchester United that highly given their current status is debatable, but they could offer Champions League football if they win the Europa League this season.
We’ll take this report with a massive pinch of salt given the source and Africa Foot’s love for hyping up African players and potential moves to the Premier League without any real substance.
Osimhen to Manchester United is something that never seems to go away, though, and this latest is indication we’re in for another summer full of reports about it.
