Victor Osimhen: 5 clubs linked to Nigeria striker as Man United make verbal agreement

Victor Osimhen could make his dream move in the summer after snubbing major suitors in the January transfer window.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan move after failing to reach an agreement with Chelsea on the deadline day, and Napoli botched moves to Paris Saint-Germain and Al-Ahli.

Galatasaray president confirmed to Sporskor that a break clause exists and could allow top clubs to sign him, even though the striker is having a great time and wants to stay till the end of the season…Continue Reading.

Below are the lists of clubs linked to Osimhen despite reportedly reaching a verbal agreement with Manchester United.

1. Galatasaray

It sounds awkward that despite being on loan and the club having a deal with him until the end of the season, they are still one of the clubs who have expressed interest in signing him permanently in January. The decision came after his impressive performances and to prevent other clubs from signing him.

2. Chelsea

The Blues were locked in negotiations with the Super Eagles forward until the final minutes of the summer transfer window deadline day. There were reports that a pre-agreement could be reached, but it did not materialise before he joined Galatasaray. The Londoners remain admirers and monitor his situation in Turkey.

3. Paris Saint-Germain

PSG failed to sign Osimhen in the summer and left the table after Napoli rejected all their offers, which included cash plus a player. The Parisians have stayed silent since then, but RMC Sports claim they will try to make further attempt to sign the striker in summer when they believe he will be cheaper.

4. Al-Ahli 

Saudi Arabia Al-Ahli had an agreement with Osimhen and Napoli in the summer, but the club withdrew after the Italian Serie A club requested an extra €5 million and instead signed Brentford forward Ivan Toney. Reliable Italian journalist on the Osimhen saga, Gianluca Di Marzio, has now reported that another unnamed Saudi club will attempt to sign him with mega offers.

5. Manchester United

In what could be a seismic shift in Manchester United’s transfer strategy, the Red Devils have reportedly tabled a “verbal offer” to Napoli striker Victor Osimhen after reaching an agreement to pay the Nigerian’s release clause.
