The pursuit of Victor Osimhen this summer is shaping up to be quite the saga, with Manchester United and PSG emerging as two of the ‘main contenders’ for the Napoli center-forward.
According to The Independent, Osimhen’s release clause stands at 110 million euros, which currently translates to £94 million. While Arsenal and Chelsea have shown interest in the Nigerian forward, they face competition from Manchester United and PSG.
Both the Red Devils and Parisians are eager to make a statement signing this summer.
With United now under new management led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s crew, they are looking to be more strategic in the market while recognizing ‘the value of a certain profile of player from time to time’.
Similarly, PSG is transforming, especially with the impending departure of Kylian Mbappe. As a result, significant moves are expected from the Ligue 1 leaders. Osimhen’s age and profile make him an attractive prospect for both clubs.
Although his price tag may be a barrier for some, it represents a substantial discount compared to Napoli’s demands from a year ago.
