English Premier giants, Manchester United, have rejoined the race to secure the signature of Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, who is on loan at Galatasaray SK.
According to Turkish media outlet, Asist Analiz, the Red Devils are exploring a potential deal that could see them offer Joshua Zirkzee, plus a cash sum, in exchange for the Super Eagles forward.
In Ruben Amorim’s reign, the Manchester club is keen to strengthen its attacking options and sees this move as a viable route to securing the services of the Nigerian star.
Following the difficulty of some clubs in securing the signature of Osimhen during the summer transfer window, Napoli now has a new price tag for the Super Eagles forward.
According to multiple sources, the Red Devils have been closely monitoring the forward’s performances and believe that Zirkzee, who is currently struggling at the club, could be a valuable makeweight in the negotiations.
The cash portion of the offer is expected to be tailored to the valuation of the Nigerian player, whose current form has caught the attention of several European heavyweights.
This development comes amid growing speculation surrounding the future of the Super Eagles forward, whose consistent performances in domestic and international competitions have placed him on top clubs’ radars.
