Manchester United are sniffing around Victor Osimhen. According to reports from Footballtransfers, citing Fabrizio Romano, the 26-year-old forward is “open to hearing from Man United,” although United have yet to formally approach Napoli or his camp. Any move hinges on Old Trafford’s budget amid FFP constraints.
Osimhen left Napoli for Galatasaray last summer on a dry loan — no buy obligation, with the player’s wages covered — after falling out of favor under Antonio Conte following an infamous TikTok-mock incident.
His loan season has exploded: 20 goals and five assists in 25 starts across all competitions, powering Galatasaray towards a domestic double.
Napoli has set a release clause around €75m–€80m for foreign clubs — down from a previous €130m — though that may rise to roughly €120m if triggered early, resetting to €75m after June, according toteamtalk.com, citing Fabrizio Romano.
United’s need is urgent. Hojlund and Zirkzee have mustered just five Premier League goals combined between them. Olivier Giroud nears the twilight. Romano said in a recent YouTube video of his that the Red Devils are eyeing both Osimhen and Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres. — “Weekly updates” have been received, but moves depend squarely on the transfer budget and wage structure.
This spells high drama. Osimhen is a proven goal‑machine. A world-class striker, electric, carrying purpose, wave after wave of emotion—United fans dream of a headline smash—and the timer’s ticking: delay, and that release clause shrinks. It’s a test of nerve: will United, Arsenal—or anyone—race the timer, bet big, finally bring ceremony to chaos? The story is ticking.
Summer 2025 won’t wait. Urgency is here. Will €75m unlock a new era, or will the moment slip away? This is the kind of story that keeps hearts racing.
Stay tuned—this summer promises fireworks.
