Manchester United Target Victor Osimhen as Their New Number 9
Victor Osimhen is having a breakout season on loan at Galatasaray, and now Manchester United is ready to make a move. The English club has reportedly reached a preliminary agreement for the Nigerian forward, currently under contract with Napoli.
Osimhen Shines in Turkey and Draws Premier League Interest
Victor Osimhen has taken the Turkish Süper Lig by storm. On loan from Napoli to Galatasaray, the Nigerian forward has scored an impressive 30 goals in 35 matches, establishing himself as one of the deadliest strikers in Europe this season. His performances have not gone unnoticed—especially by Manchester United, who are reportedly ready to act.
According to reports from the UK, United has reached an "agreement in principle" with the player and are prepared to activate his €75 million release clause this summer. There’s also talk of including Rasmus Højlund in the deal, as the Danish striker has struggled to deliver at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim Wants Firepower
Under new manager Ruben Amorim, Manchester United is undergoing a rebuild, and a top-tier striker is one of the priorities. Osimhen fits the bill perfectly: athletic, clinical, and with a proven scoring touch. Amorim reportedly views the 26-year-old as a key piece in turning around United’s disappointing campaign.
While Galatasaray hopes to keep Osimhen with a permanent offer, the player appears focused on returning to top-level European competition. His fractured relationship with Napoli has only fueled speculation of a transfer, and Manchester United sees this as a perfect window to strike.
With 29 goals already this season and interest from across Europe, Osimhen has plenty of options. But a Premier League move could be the next major step in his career—and Manchester United is prepared to give him the platform he needs to shine.
