After initial interest in Liam Delap and Viktor Gyokeres proved unsuccessful—Delap opting for Chelsea and Gyokeres waiting on Arsenal's Champions League offer—Manchester United have turned their attention to Osimhen. The 26-year-old Nigerian forward recently returned to Napoli after a loan spell at Galatasaray, where he impressed by netting 37 goals across all competitions.
Despite his successful stint in Turkey, Napoli have no intention of reintegrating Osimhen and are awaiting firm offers. A major hurdle remains, however, as the striker's desire to join the Premier League clashes with the financial realities of potential suitors.
Al-Hilal have approached Osimhen with a lucrative €40 million-a-year contract, but he has yet to accept their proposal. Meanwhile, Galatasaray are eager to keep him, even prepared to trigger his €75 million release clause without hesitation. Nevertheless, Osimhen seems determined to pursue his Premier League ambitions.
