Man Utd join Chelsea in keeping an eye on situation of Super Eagles star ahead of possible summer move

According to Italian sports daily Corriere dello Sport, Manchester are monitoring the situation of 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup winner Victor Osimhen ahead of a possible summer move.

The Premier League giants join Chelsea and PSG in keeping tabs with the situation of the Super Eagles striker and could make a move for him.

Under a new minority ownership vested with the power to oversee transfer activities, the club are ready to make a wholesome change in their playing personnel.

They have been prominently linked with 2021 Super Eagles invitee Michael Olise and a move for Osimhen should not be ruled out.

The Nigeria international will be a big upgrade on Rasmus Højlund who has had a decent start to life at Old Trafford, scoring 16 goals across all competitions this term.

The reigning African Player of the Year is set to become Napoli's most expensive sale as the Parthenopeans won't accept any offer below €100m for his services.

Gonzalo Higuaín holds the record as the most expensive sale in the history of the club but it is only a matter of time before that is broken, particularly with Osimhen likely to depart.

The Nigeria international is Napoli's most expensive signing, having been acquired for €77.5m in 2020 from Lille.
