Earlier on Monday, we covered a story from Italy claiming that Manchester United were ready to trigger the release clause in Kim Min-jae’s contract at Napoli.
In there, we mentioned he wasn’t the only player in Naples the Red Devils were looking at, with Victor Osimhen also among the stars the Red Devils were keeping tabs on.
Almost like clockwork, Gazzetta dello Sport then published an article on the Nigerian, where they mention Manchester United.
Of course, that could rise if more than one side decide to pay the much, and that’s the hope over in Naples.
As for interested parties, it’s said the ‘number one candidate’ are Manchester United, as it’s no secret they need a striker and the player wants to move to the Premier League in the future.
The takeover situation is discussed as well, and it’s explained that whoever does buy the club from the Glazers will ‘want to beef up the squad’ to please Erik ten Hag, who is doing great work at Old Trafford these days.
It’s believed Osimhen would be ‘the ideal centre forward’ for the club to compete with the likes of Erling Haaland on the blue side of Manchester, and that’s why, once they have a new majority shareholder, Manchester United will go ‘all in’ for Osimhen.
