Victor Osimhen has Choosen Manchester United Amid Transfer Buzz, NaijNaira can report. The Nigerian striker has reportedly made up his mind about where he wants to play next — and it’s Manchester United.
Spanish outlet Fichajes claims Osimhen has “chosen Manchester United as the team where he wants to continue his career,” despite the club missing out on next season’s Champions League.
At 26, Osimhen seems prepared to leave Napoli behind. His recent loan spell at Galatasaray surprised many but reignited his form, with over 40 goal involvements in one season.
Manchester United have struggled up front and are in desperate need of a reliable striker. Osimhen offers just that — pace, power, and proven finishing.
Fichajes adds: “United desperately needs a striker with goalscoring prowess, leadership, and presence, and Osimhen fits that profile perfectly.”
New manager Rubén Amorim is building a fresh project at Old Trafford, and Osimhen reportedly sees long-term potential in it.
The report continues: “The player’s interest in wearing red is strong,” pointing to genuine intent rather than just financial motivation.
However, Manchester United will need to overcome steep financial hurdles. His release clause at Napoli is substantial, and wage demands won’t come cheap.
As Fichajes puts it: “The transaction costs, both in transfer and salary, remain high.”
Still, Osimhen’s clear preference gives United a unique advantage as they begin talks.
The report sums it up: “Manchester United now has the advantage: Osimhen has already made his choice, and the ball is in their court.”
Should the deal go through, it would be a major win for Amorim and a huge step forward in United’s rebuild.
Fichajes adds: “For Amorim, his arrival would be a luxury addition to revive the team’s attack and return the team to the elite.”
