Man United in talks with league champions to seal one of the best coups of the decade | OneFootball

Manchester United are looking to pull off what would be a dream coup by signing Victor Osimhen on a sensational swap deal.

The Nigerian is widely considered one of the best strikers available on the market. He spent his campaign on loan at Galatasaray, delivering the goods once again.

Nevertheless, his exploits in Istanbul will do little to change the narrative in Napoli, as his poor relationship with the hierarchy will spell the end of his time at the Stadio Maradona.

How Man Utd plan to lure Osimhen

Osimhen’s contract famously includes a £63 million release clause. However, the cash-strapped United will struggle to fork out this figure, especially after spending a similar sum on Matheus Cunha.

But according to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli (via Il Napolista), the Red Devils are currently in talks with Napoli officials as they aim to find a creative solution.

As the source explains, the Premier League giants are pushing for a swap deal, offering £33.5 million in addition to the services of Rasmus Hojlund.

It should be noted that the misfiring Dane has been heavily linked with a return to Serie A in recent weeks, with Napoli named among his main suitors, in addition to fellow Italian giants, Inter Milan and Juventus.

Needless to say, Man Utd fans would be delighted if this move were to come to fruition, as it would arguably represent one of the finest pieces of business conducted by the club over the past decade. This operation would be the equivalent of hitting two birds with one stone.

Not only would United land one of the best strikers in Europe, a top-notch bomber with a killer instinct, but they would also rid themselves of a struggling attacker who has utterly lost his way last season and is now running very low on confidence.
