Manchester United is preparing an ambitious offer to attract this center forward from the winter transfer window
Since his arrival at Manchester United, Ruben Amorim quickly defined his priorities to strengthen the Red Devils squad. At the top of his list is the recruitment of a prolific striker capable of reinvigorating the Manchester attack. The profile of Victor Osimhen imposed itself. Currently on loan from Naples to Galatasaray, the Nigerian striker represents a target for the English club.
An original proposal to convince Naples
According to The Morning, Manchester United have reportedly drawn up a bold bid to convince Napoli to recall Osimhen from his loan spell in Türkiye as early as January. The Red Devils would be ready to include Joshua Zirkzeetheir Dutch center forward recruited from Bologna last summer. In addition to this inclusion, a sum of 30 million euros would be offered to finalize the transaction.
This financial arrangement demonstrates the club's marked interest in Osimhen, whose offensive impact could prove decisive for the rest of the season. Despite a difficult start in England, Zirkzee could represent an interesting option for Napoli.
The release clause as an obstacle
However, the operation is not without constraints. Victor Osimhen is linked to Naples by a contract running until June 2026. His release clause is estimated at 75 million euros. Although Naples appears open to discussions, this amount remains a key factor in the negotiations. Manchester United's desire to structure a creative offer could, however, make the difference.
The advantages of a transfer for Manchester United
The arrival of a striker like Osimhen would considerably strengthen the Red Devils' offensive arsenal. He would bring a different dynamic to the team, still looking for consistency in the championship. Additionally, Osimhen's association with talents such as Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes could redefine the club's attacking strategy.
With a clear desire to recruit Victor Osimhen, Manchester United could well shake up the winter market. It remains to be seen whether Naples, seduced by the English offer, will agree to sacrifice their Nigerian jewel to strengthen their squad with Zirkzee.
