According to Football Insider, Manchester United is reportedly planning a double bid on Napoli this summer, including acquisitions of Victor Osimhen and defender Kim Min-Jae.

The Brief: Commercial under Ten Hag

Since joining the team in the summer of last year, Erik ten Hag has received support from club authorities during the transfer window, with notable deals for Casemiro, former Ajax stars Antony, and Lisandro Martinez.

United has spent a total of €243 million (£213 million) under Ten Hag, and it appears that this summer could be just as pricey before his second season in charge.

Transfer update most recent

In the previous 48 hours, FI reporter Pete O’Rourke published a transfer update from Old Trafford, stating accusations about Osimhen and Kim.

He said that the Red Devils are getting ready to pounce on both players, with Osimhen expected to create a new club transfer record by costing more than £100 million. Kim’s contract reportedly has a £43 million release clause that will expire after two weeks in July.

Conclusion: Interesting

The possibility of a hectic and pricey summer at Old Trafford this year, maybe under new ownership, makes offers for Osimhen and Kim exciting.

The club is in need of a new front, and Osimhen has been excellent this year, tallying 23 goals in 28 games. Described as a “monster” by the media and praised by David Trezeguet, a great attacker, who called the forward “unique”:

He is a special player, the new player’s prototype, quick, and active. I believe he has developed into a striker with a significant profile. He is skilled at managing his movements and himself during a game.

Ivan Zacharoni, the editor of Corriele dello Sport, even said that Napoli should prioritize keeping Kim over Osimhen because of the impact he has had there.

“Napoli need to prioritize safeguarding Kim Min-jae over Victor Osimen. He is the world’s top defender. In terms of talent and reliability, there is no player to compare with. Kim Min-jae is a flawless defender who just needs to use the restroom.

His arrival might also be necessary, particularly in light of rumors that Harry Maguire will leave this summer and the possibility that Victor Lindelof would be sent to Inter Milan in exchange for Denzel Dumfries. It could be something to keep an eye on in the coming months as Kim might then show up to confront Martinez and Raphael Varane.
