A significant development has given Manchester United hope that they will land their top summer target. Liverpool will overtake Arsenal in the race for a midfielder with a £44 million price tag, and according to Monday’s Transfer Gossip, a struggling Chelsea player will find relief at Aston Villa.

NAPOLI WOULD ACCEPT THE MAN UTD BID FOR VICTOR OSIMHEN, TEN HAG TOLD

Victor Osimhen is a player that Manchester United is getting more and more excited to sign this summer.

This summer, a number of names have been connected to the Red Devils as they search for a new great center striker. And while Dusan Vlahovic, Goncalo Ramos, and Harry Kane might all contribute to Manchester United, none are regarded as the top option.

According to reports, Napoli’s Osimhen is the recipient of the honor.

The Nigerian has scored 25 goals in 29 games this season, and Napoli is poised for a spectacular campaign.

Their 33-year title drought is about to come to an end as they lead Serie A by 19 points. They may devote a lot of their energy on the Champions League if they win the title early.

After drawing AC Milan in the quarterfinals, they will be the favorites to advance to the final. The winners of Benfica and Inter Milan will then play them in the semifinals.

As a result, it has always been assumed that it would be difficult to persuade Napoli to sell Osimhen.

Osimhen, a target of Man Utd, is available.

A fresh school of thought, though, contends that Napoli is genuinely amenable to a deal.

And it appears that out of their three prized possessions, they would rather sell Osimhen than Khvicha Kvaratskhelia or Kim min-Jae.

La Gazzetta dello Sport asserts that Napoli will find it increasingly difficult to retain Osimhen this summer.

They further assert that President Aurelio De Laurentiis will be strongly tempted to cash in if offered more than £87.5 million (€100 million).

According to the article, Osimhen makes £85,000 per week—bonuses included. There is a growing sense that the 24-year-old also wants to transfer to Manchester United knowing he could earn more than double that there.

Randal Kolo Muani is apparently another name United is interested in. Florian Plettenberg, a journalist for Sky Germany, claims that Osimhen is the player the club is most interested in signing.

“Manchester United wants him badly. He is reportedly ranked higher than Kolo Muani internally, according to what we’ve heard.
