Napoli striker Victor Osimhen
Manchester United have already made an approach over a mega-money move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
The Lowdown: Attackers needed
Erik ten Hag is eager to get going at Old Trafford, so much so that he terminated his Ajax contract six weeks early.
A number of incomings and outgoings are expected over the coming months, with Edinson Cavani falling into the latter of the two categories.
He looks set to become a free agent at the end of June and is likely to leave, while Marcus Rashford has been linked with an exit, which may leave Ten Hag extremely short of attacking options.
The Latest: Osimhen update
Sports Witness relayed an update from Corriere dello Sport regarding Osimhen on Wednesday. They claim that the Red Devils have already made an approach for the 23-year-old, who has a €110m (£93m) valuation.
A number of clubs in England are seemingly keen on the Nigeria international, however, only United have been name-checked in the update.
Who would you prefer at Old Trafford?
Osimhen
Nunez
The Verdict: Osimhen or Nunez?
Benfica’s Darwin Nunez has been linked with a big-money move to Old Trafford, so it looks as if it will be one of the two forwards this summer, as United are also working on a move for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
Midfield appears to be a big priority, so we can’t imagine the funds will be there to sign both strikers alongside de Jong, who is reportedly 95 per cent likely to join.
Osimhen, who former United striker Odion Ighalo described as ‘the future’, has scored 18 goals in 31 appearances this season, turning out impressively in the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Nunez, a year younger than Osimhen, has scored a whopping 34 goals in 2021/22, has played in the Champions League and can also play on the wing or in a deeper role, so perhaps the Uruguay international could be the smarter buy.
