Osimhen to Man United: Record-Breaking Deal Takes Shape

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly close to joining Manchester United in a deal that could make him the club’s most expensive signing in history. According to sources, Osimhen has agreed to personal terms with the Red Devils, including a weekly wage of £660,000 before tax.

The transfer is said to be the result of intense negotiations between Manchester United, Napoli, and Osimhen’s representatives. While the exact transfer fee has not been officially revealed, reports suggest it could range from €30m to €35m, significantly lower than the €75 million release clause in Osimhen’s Napoli contract.

Osimhen’s potential move to Manchester United has been backed by Napoli’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, who confirmed the player would leave the club this summer. A source close to Osimhen revealed that the player is keen on joining Manchester United, unlike his response to Al-Hilal’s lucrative offer.

The deal is expected to be finalized soon, with Osimhen preparing for a new chapter in his career. When asked about his future, Osimhen said, “Don’t worry, very soon a decision will be taken, and I am preparing as we are resting now.”

Manchester United’s interest in Osimhen is part of their quest for a marquee striker signing this summer. The club had also been pursuing Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon, but the Swedish striker has reportedly declined their advances.

– Weekly Wage: £660,000 before tax
