Victor Osimhen Reaches Transfer Terms With Manchester United Ahead Of Summer Move

Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Manchester United as the English Premier League giants look to strengthen their attacking force this summer.

According to respected Turkish sports journalist Serdar Çelikler, the prolific striker currently on loan at Galatasaray from Serie A side Napoli has set the stage for a high-profile move to Old Trafford.

“Victor Osimhen has reached an agreement with Manchester United. But the deal still requires club-to-club negotiations,” Çelikler revealed on his latest podcast episode.

Why Manchester United Is Eyeing Osimhen

Manchester United’s need for a clinical striker has become urgent, especially with Rasmus Højlund underperforming throughout the season. Reports suggest that new manager Rúben Amorim is planning to offload Højlund during the upcoming transfer window and is keen to bring in a reliable forward to boost the squad’s efficiency.

Osimhen, aged 26, has been in spectacular form, scoring 29 goals and assisting six times in 34 matches for Galatasaray this season across all competitions. His outstanding performance has put him firmly on the radar of top European clubs.

Transfer Fee and Contract Clause

Although personal terms are reportedly settled, Manchester United still needs to negotiate with Napoli, who currently hold Osimhen’s contract. The striker’s release clause is set at €75 million (£63 million). However, insiders believe Napoli might be willing to lower their asking price to finalize the deal quickly.
