Manchester United have bolstered their attack by signing Wout Weghorst from Burnley on loan until the end of this season.
The Red Devils don’t have an option to make Weghorst’s stay permanent, and this could see them look for a new striker next summer.
Manchester United seem to have identified a target as Il Mattino state Erik ten Hag’s side are ‘already lining up’ to sign Napoli star Victor Osimhen.
It’s said many intermediaries are already at work to bring the Nigeria international to the Premier League after this season.
Osimhen is happy at the Naples club and has a contract until 2025, with a salary of €4.3m per year. It is difficult for Napoli to keep him by offering a new deal, also because Aurelio De Laurentiis doesn’t intend to offer bigger wages.
Il Mattino say the ‘auction for Victor Osimhen is ready’ as Manchester United will be joined by Newcastle United and Arsenal in the race to acquire his signature.
The player, for now, is focused on helping Napoli win the title and has asked his entourage to postpone any talks regarding his future until June.
Osimhen has 13 goals and four assists from 17 matches in all competitions this season.
