Osimhen Transfer Saga Reignites as Manchester United Reopen Talks with Napoli
Manchester United are back at the negotiation table — and this time, they’re serious.
According to Foot Mercato, the Red Devils have reopened talks with Napoli over the signing of Victor Osimhen, the prolific Nigerian striker who dazzled in Turkey last season while on loan at Galatasaray.
🔥 Recap: Osimhen’s Turkish Domination
After being loaned out by Napoli last season due to new boss Antonio Conte’s preference for Romelu Lukaku, Osimhen didn’t just prove a point — he made a statement.
✅ 41 appearances
✅ 37 goals
✅ 8 assists
✅ Turkish Super Lig title with Galatasaray
💰 What’s on the Table?
Napoli want: €75 million transfer fee
Osimhen wants: €12 million annual salary
Man United need: A miracle — after finishing just above relegation in the 2024/25 season and scoring only 44 goals in 38 games
Let’s face it — if Osimhen doesn’t solve United’s striker problem, no one will.
💬 Opinion – Osimhen Is the Fix Manchester United Cannot Afford to Miss
Let’s cut through the noise: Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee haven’t been it. The numbers say it all — Manchester United had the lowest goal tally among top-half Premier League teams.
In contrast, Osimhen is not just a striker — he’s a guaranteed 30+ goals-a-season forward, with the physicality and pace to terrorize English defenses. Add his relentless work rate and big-game mentality, and you’ve got a player made for the Premier League.
💬 But will United take the bold step or fumble again?
🧠 Here’s What United Must Consider:
€75m is value for money in this inflated market.
At 26, Osimhen is entering his prime.
He’s already adapted to multiple leagues (Serie A, Ligue 1, Super Lig).
He’s Nigerian market gold — United’s global brand could explode in West Africa.
📣 Fans React:
💬 “United better not mess this one up. Osimhen is generational.”
💬 “We’ve wasted too much time chasing mediocrity. Get Victor now!”
💬 “Napoli asking for €75m is a bargain in today’s market.”
📆 What’s Next?
With Napoli ready to sell and Osimhen keen to move, the ball is now in Manchester United’s court. But they’ll have to move fast, especially with other clubs monitoring the situation, including rumored interest from Chelsea and PSG.
👉 Do you think Osimhen is the right man to fix United’s front line?
