Manchester United ‘ready to launch £107m summer bid for Super Eagles and Napoli star Victor Osimhen’
Manchester United are reportedly prepared to break the bank by launching a £107m bid for Victor Osimhen, a deal which will also match the British transfer record Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandez.
The Napoli striker has become United’s top summer transfer target off the back of impressive performances that have seen him score 16 goals and become Serie A’s top scorer.
Osimhen scored a brace in Napoli’s 3-0 away win over Spezia on Sunday which saw them extend their lead at the top of the Italian league to 13 points.
La Gazzetta dello Sport have suggested that Napoli believe the Premier League giants will match the £107m asking price inserted in the 24-year-old’s existing contract.
However, United could face competition from Todd Boehly’s high-spending Chelsea who are also expected to enter the race for Osimhen’s signature in the summer.
