HUGE JANUARY SWAP DEAL IN THE WORKS 🚨 Man United have been offered the chance to sign Osimhen in January, but Napoli want a pick of three players in return… 👀✍ Let’s get this done quickly not like they are asking for our best player. The fans are calling on the club to grant Napoli’s wish and get osimhen🙀😱🙀

Manchester United are reportedly exploring a potential player-exchange deal with Napoli to acquire Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. Currently thriving at Galatasaray on loan, the 25-year-old has long expressed his desire to play in the Premier League. Osimhen’s performances in Turkey, where he has scored nine goals and provided three assists in 11 Super Lig matches, have reignited interest from several top European clubs.

 

During the summer of 2024, Osimhen was linked with moves to Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. However, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis demanded a full release clause payment, discouraging potential buyers. While Chelsea explored both loan and permanent transfer options, they ultimately backed out due to their strict wage policies. As a result, Osimhen opted for a loan spell at Galatasaray. Despite his success there, many believe his talent warrants a spot in one of Europe’s elite leagues.

 

Recent reports suggest Manchester United are now assessing the possibility of signing Osimhen during the January transfer window. If the deal materializes, he would join an attack featuring Marcus Rashford, Joshua Zirkzee, and Rasmus Højlund under manager Rúben Amorim. Interestingly, Osimhen previously declined a move to United in 2020 out of respect for fellow Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo, who was on loan with the club at the time.

 

Osimhen’s contract with Napoli expires in June 2025, giving the Serie A side a window to secure a transfer fee before potentially losing him for free. However, a cash-only deal may not satisfy Napoli, who are reportedly interested in United forwards Rashford, Højlund, and Zirkzee. Both Højlund and Zirkzee have prior Serie A experience, having played for Atalanta and Bologna, respectively.

 

Napoli’s tough negotiating stance, coupled with United’s financial considerations following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s investment, suggests a creative deal may be necessary. A player-exchange arrangement could reduce the financial outlay while providing Napoli with valuable reinforcements. For United, adding Osimhen to their squad would address their inconsistent attacking form and align with Amorim’s tactical philosophy.

 

As the January transfer window approaches, all eyes are on whether Manchester United and Napoli can strike a deal. If successful, Osimhen’s move to Old Trafford would not only fulfill his Premier League aspirations but also significantly enhance United’s offensive capabilities. The coming weeks promise to shed light on one of the most intriguing transfer narratives of th

e season.
