Victor Osimhen’s impressive displays for Napoli this season have seen Manchester United and few other top clubs send their scouts to watch him closely in action for the Serie A side.
The striker has scored 10 goals and registered three assists from 14 games in all competitions this season.
Last week, Corriere del Mezzogiorno reported that Erik ten Hag’s target can ‘truly become Mr €100m’ this season.
The Nigeria international has less than three years left on his contract and continues to be courted by other clubs, including Manchester United, leading journalist Ignazio Genuardi took to Twitter to provide the latest update on the 23-year-old.
Genuardi claims the Red Devils are ‘notably on the case’ of the former Lille man, who has an ‘exit pass’ for next summer, but Napoli ‘don’t have the intention of negotiating for less than €100-120m cash’.
Le Nigérian #Osimhen dispose d’un bon de sortie pour l’été prochain, mais Naples n’a pas l’intention de discuter à moins de 100-120 M€ cash, Man Utd étant notamment sur le coup. Concernant #Kvaratskhelia et #Kim, ça va négocier pour tenter de blinder leurs engagements. #Mercato

Ten Hag has relied upon Cristiano Ronaldo, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford to play up front for Manchester United.
The Portuguese forward’s future at Old Trafford is uncertain after his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
Martial, on the other hand, has struggled with multiple injuries this season, leaving the former Ajax manager to rely heavily upon Rashford.
The situation with Ronaldo and Martial could see Manchester United look for a new striker next summer, and, as per Genuardi, Osimhem remains a target for the English club.
