Football transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has delivered a bombshell update on Manchester United’s pursuit of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. Speaking live, Romano revealed that the Nigerian superstar is reportedly eager to join the Red Devils, fueling speculation about what could be one of the biggest signings of the season.
“Man United is no doubt a big club, and I don’t know how the future is going to be, but I’m very much interested in joining Manchester United,” Osimhen reportedly said, leaving fans buzzing with excitement.
United Fans Demand the Deal
The announcement has sparked an outpouring of enthusiasm from Manchester United fans, who are now flooding social media with calls for the club to secure the deal. With Osimhen publicly expressing his desire to join, the pressure is mounting on United’s management to act swiftly and bring the prolific striker to Old Trafford.
Comments like “Make this happen, we need Osimhen!” and “Finally, a striker who can lead the line!” have dominated fan discussions, with many believing Osimhen could be the perfect solution to United’s long-standing issues in attack.
Initial Talks Underway
Reports indicate that Manchester United and Napoli have already initiated preliminary discussions about a potential transfer. While the deal is in its early stages, there is optimism from all parties involved. Napoli, who have relied heavily on Osimhen’s goals, are aware of the player’s interest in leaving and could be open to selling if the price is right.
Osimhen has been in sensational form, netting 26 goals in Serie A last season and continuing to impress in the current campaign. His pace, physicality, and clinical finishing make him a perfect fit for Erik ten Hag’s high-pressing, possession-based system.
United’s Striker Woes
Manchester United have struggled to find a consistent goal-scorer since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. While Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Højlund have contributed, neither has fully filled the void. Osimhen’s arrival would not only bolster the attack but also provide the focal point United have desperately needed.
Napoli’s Stance
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is known for driving a hard bargain, and it’s expected that United will need to dig deep to secure Osimhen’s signature. The striker’s market value is estimated at around £120 million, making him one of the most expensive targets of the January transfer window.
What’s Next?
While fans are ecstatic about Osimhen’s willingness to join, the transfer is far from finalized. Negotiations between Manchester United and Napoli will likely be intense, with both clubs keen to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
As the transfer window heats up, all eyes are on United to see if they can pull off this marquee signing. One thing is clear: Osimhen is ready, the fans are ready, and the ball is now in Manchester United’s court to make this dream move a reality.
