The transfer window might be 101 days away from opening, but manager Erik ten Hag has already set his signings on completing two significant arrivals.
The Dutchman would like a central defender and genuine goalscorer to bolster his options ahead of the 2023-24 Premier League campaign.
Reports suggest that United have compiled a list of players they are prepared to sell to finance new signings with the attacking options including Harry Kane, Goncalo Ramos and Mohammed Kudus.
But the club are also interested in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
The 24-year-old has flourished since arriving at Napoli from Lille in September 2020, scoring 53 goals and providing 14 assists in 91 appearances.
He’s top of the Serie A goal charts this season with Napoli on course to collect their first Italian league title since 1990.
Victor Osimhen next club
Betfair odds
- Manchester United – 3/1
- Chelsea – 7/1
- PSG – 9/1
- Arsenal – 10/1
- Manchester City – 14/1
The player has over two years remaining on his contract, which expires in June 2025 and Napoli value him at around £100million.
Chelsea are considered second favourites at 7/1 with Betfair.
The Blues are expected to continue their spending spree and overhaul this summer and Osimhen could fit the bill with so many new creative additions brought in in January.
Paris Saint-Germain are offered at 9/1, but that price could drop.
French publication Foot Mercato claim that PSG transfer guru Luis Campos has arranged a meeting with Osimhen’s representatives during the international break.
It’s said that PSG are bracing themselves for the possible exit of Lionel Messi, whose contract expires shortly. There’s also a chance Neymar leaves after picking up another long-term injury.
