Report Osimhen agreed personal terms with Manchester United | OneFootball

Multiple reports in Turkey this evening claim that Victor Osimhen, who is owned by Napoli and on loan at Galatasaray, has agreed personal terms with Manchester United.

A flurry of activity has emerged around the Nigeria international this evening, with Serdar Ali Celikler of VOLE, Aygun Ozipek and Ahmet Konanc all reporting that Osimhen has decided to go to Old Trafford.

The figures mentioned by the transfer pundits are a five-year contract worth €15m per year net.

Napoli still control Osimhen’s fate

The striker signed a huge new €10m per season deal at Napoli in December 2023 with the express intent of being sold for his €120m release clause the next summer.

When nobody matched the asking price, he was sent on loan to Galatasaray in September 2024, where he has flourished, scoring 29 goals in 34 competitive games.

Now the idea is for Napoli to sell at the end of the season with the release clause lowered to €80m.

Several clubs have shown interest, including Juventus, Arsenal, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, but Manchester United would seem to be the favourites.

The reports claim that Manchester United want to pay €60m for Osimhen, but that is likely to be rejected by Napoli.

His contract has a clause whereby if a sale is not completed by the end of June 2025, then it automatically extends for another year.
