Manchester United are interested in signing Victor Osimhen
According to a report by Italian journalist Paolo Bargigga, Manchester United are interested in signing Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen. The Nigeria international is currently among the most sought-after attackers in Europe.
He has been Napoli’s star performer as they look to win the Serie A title this season. The 24-year-old attacker has scored 18 goals in 19 league games so far.
Victor Osimhen is valued at around €120 million. He is expected to leave the Naples outfit at the end of the current season. Paris Saint-Germain are another club who have shown interest in signing him in recent weeks. Erik ten Hag has a battle on his hands to snap him up next summer.
Bargigga said: “It is still February, anything can happen. I think that a real auction could be unleashed on Victor Osimhem in the upcoming weeks. The player’s valuation stands at €120m, but it could increase again if he continues to do so well. Chances are high he’ll go away.”
