Manchester United’s Potential Gain from Osimhen’s Transfer
Manchester United could reportedly still benefit from the potential transfer of Victor Osimhen from Napoli to Galatasaray. The prolific Nigeria international had a successful loan spell at Galatasaray last season, though few felt it was likely that he’d stay there permanently. Now, however, it seems a deal is close, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, though the deal will include an intriguing clause.
The Clause That Could Benefit United
It seems there will be a clause in the deal that prevents Galatasaray selling Osimhen to another Serie A club until the year 2027. According to the Manchester Evening News, this could end up benefiting Man Utd as there’s still the sense that Osimhen views this move to Turkey as a stepping stone towards a bigger move later.
United’s Striker Search
United urgently need a new striker this summer, and Osimhen looks like someone who could perfectly fit the bill. The 26-year-old scored 37 goals in 41 games in all competitions last season, while he also found the back of the net 48 times in his final two seasons with Napoli. A previous report from Gazzetta dello Sport also stated that United were viewed as a dream move by Osimhen, so it will surely be one to watch for the future.
