MANCHESTER UNITED are favourites to sign Napoli star Victor Osimhen, according to reports.

United are in the market for a new striker this summer.

And Osimhen fits their criteria after scoring 25 goals in 29 games this season, including four in the Champions League.

The Red Devils are leading the race to sign the striker, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

But the transfer guru claims it could take a Premier League record fee for United to get their man.

Napoli are reportedly willing to sell Osimhen for a fee in the region of £115-£130million.

That is a little more than the £107m Chelsea paid to sign Enzo Fernandez in January, which set a new Prem record.

Di Marzio also reports Paris Saint-Germain could make a move for Osimhen.

They would likely be able to afford the Nigerian, as would Chelsea who have also been linked.

Osimhen says he dreams of playing in the Premier League at some stage.

However, it appears PSG could be set to leapfrog the competition during the international break.

It is believed transfer guru Luis Campos has arranged a meeting with Osimhen’s representatives.

And talks are already underway in the background over structuring a potential deal for July.

PSG are bracing themselves for the possible exit of Lionel Messi, whose contract expires shortly.
