Bit of a stretch but he is fast and physical. Watched him more when he was at Huesca with K.Nwakali. He is 24 now so I expect his game to have matured.

Man Utd ‘far behind’ in Victor Osimhen transfer hunt as striker’s decision timeframe emerges

Victor Osimhen continues to attract strong interest from many top European clubs, with at least eight teams showing concrete interest in the Napoli striker in recent weeks, TEAMtalk can confirm – but one of two certainties about his decision-making process has put Manchester United far away from pole position.


Osimhen enjoyed last season on loan at Galatasaray, where he scored 37 goals from 41 appearances. It was the highest-scoring season of his career, which means he remains a highly attractive option for a lot of clubs looking for a new striker ahead of his return to Napoli.


A breakdown in relations with Napoli – where he previously scored 76 goals in 133 appearances – led to his temporary spell with Galatasaray. But now, as his contract with Napoli approaches its final 12 months, Osimhen’s future is all to play for.

TEAMtalk can confirm that in addition to Galatasaray’s obvious desire to try and keep Osimhen on a permanent basis, seven other European clubs – including three from the Premier League – are interested in the Nigeria international striker.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are the English trio keeping tabs on Osimhen, while Juventus, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are all also interested.

However, at this stage, there is no clear favourite. Osimhen is not in a rush to decide, as also demonstrated with the Al Hilal affair.

Osimhen recently rejected an offer by the Saudi Pro League side, who were willing to buy him from Napoli.

Now, the 26-year-old centre-forward wants to carefully evaluate each club’s sporting project, alongside the financial offers on the table.


Key Osimhen condition derails Man Utd

One key condition for Osimhen is playing in the Champions League – as revealed months ago. Because of this, Man Utd and AC Milan – neither of whom have European football of any variety on offer next season – are far behind in the hierarchy unless the player changes his mind in the coming weeks.

But that’s not all, there is another certainty in Osimhen’s future: no final decision will be made soon. That’s why it is even possible that Victor will start pre-season training with Napoli on July 15. This would give him more time to consider his future and the different opportunities available calmly.

Napoli, for their part, remain firm on the financial conditions for his farewell. That is, for non-Italian clubs, Osimhen can be signed only by triggering his €75m (£63.8m/$86.7m) release clause.

Meanwhile, for Juve (and possibly also for AC Milan, even if, as stated, it is an absolutely unlikely scenario at things stand) there will have to be a direct club-to-club negotiation.

They most certainly arent on the level of Fab or Ornstein but he points out that these are interests not "offers on the table".

Osimhen's transfer is still open to such speculations because he has not made a decision or more like he has not began talks with anyone actually and it is not out of place for clubs to ring up Napoli or his agent and just make plain inquiries for a start to express interest, JUST IN CASE.

It's a long way till Sept 1.

Arsenal's transfer ST search world is somehow....

Gyokeres prefers Arsenal over Man Utd according to solid reports. Fab reports as much.

But Arteta prefers Benjamin Sesko to Viktor Gyokeres according to reports as well. Arsenal is talking to both but Arteta's first choice is clearly Sesko. Only thing is he would likely cost more than Gyokeres. And ofcos he would, Sesko is 22 and comes with greater potential while Gyokeres at 27yrs is a striker in his Prime.

Time will tell which marriage happens before Sept 1.

True as at recent weeks.

"....with at least eight teams showing concrete interest in the Napoli striker in recent weeks"

Not all the clubs' expression of interest came in same time period. Some may have been 1 week ago, another 2 weeks back. Or another couple of or several days back.

Buchi is likely the most authoritative source on any Osimhen-related transfer news currently. So it is solid info.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Moniter0: 10:01pm On Jun 14, 2025
Osimhen should rank his first five options in the following order:

PSG
Arsenal
Chelsea
Juventus
Real Madrid.

Any of these clubs that gets the services of Osimhen will greatly boost their chances of winning the Champions League and the domestic titles next season. Especially the first 3. Why I ranked Real Madrid as the 5th place option is because they'll have to drift Mbappe to his favorite number 7 role to be with Vinicious Jnr, if they're serious about getting the services of Osimhen. I know there's a similar case with PSG but Osimhen will find it easier there.

It is interesting how Liverpool arent among the 8 that has shown interest according to some sources but are still touted by a part of the local neapolitan media as favs for Osimhen. Time will tell.

Perhaps, they havent shown interest concretely like the 8 but have only whispered it in passing.
