Osimhen to Man Utd
Man Utd are in the market for a top-class striker this summer, with the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko and Liam Delap also linked.
There have been growing reports in the Turkish media in recent weeks that United are getting closer to Osimhen.
Osimhen is one of the most wanted men on the summer transfer market, with a whole host of top European teams vying for his signature.
But the consensus in the Turkish media is that Man Utd are ahead in a race that also features Arsenal, PSG, Juventus and Barcelona.
Osimhen joined Galatasaray last summer on loan for the season from Napoli until June 2025.
It is a dry loan with Galatasaray simply covering his salary from September until June at a cost of €10 million.
He has enjoyed a fantastic season with Galatasaray, scoring 33 goals in all competitions.
Osimhen will return to Napoli at the end of the season and then leave the club permanently.
The 26-year-old has a release clause in his Napoli contract worth €75 million, for foreign clubs only.
He has no future at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona after falling out with the club last year.
