Manchester United are not slowing down in the transfer market. With the search for a top striker still active, the club has taken a new step forward.
For weeks, the focus was on Viktor Gyokeres. Now, their attention has shifted again.
The player they are chasing had a deal nearly done elsewhere.
A big-money move to Saudi Arabia was on the table. Al-Hilal made an offer that most would accept.
But something changed. The agreement broke down before it was completed.
The striker was not fully convinced and talks stalled.
This unexpected twist opened the door once again for Manchester United. The Red Devils were already in touch with his representatives earlier in the summer.
At that time, things looked promising. Now, those talks are back on the table.
United need a reliable forward to lead their attack. With Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund still developing, a proven goalscorer is a must.
The player in question has all the traits the club is looking for, pace, power, and a nose for goal.
He has done it before in Italy, and he is ready for a new challenge.
Despite interest from Galatasaray, the player is leaning towards the Premier League.
The chance to play at Old Trafford and become the focal point of a rebuild is too good to ignore.
Transfer News Live has already revealed that the player has chosen Manchester United as his next club.
Now, Foot Mercato reveals that Manchester United are ready to begin talks with Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen wants a salary of €12 million per season, which United are struggling to accept.
Napoli, his current club, are asking for €75 million including add-ons, which can also be a problem for the Red Devils as they will not be in Europe this season.
Negotiations have quietly resumed for these terms.
If all goes well, United might land their marquee number nine before the summer window heats up.
This could be one of the club’s biggest moves of the window.
