Victor Osimhen wants to play in the Premier League. This has caught the attention of Manchester United. The Super Eagles striker is open to moving to England soon, according to PUNCH Sports Extra.
TEAMtalk reports that Osimhen’s agents are looking for options for him. The Nigerian forward has been linked with United in recent transfer windows. This comes after his great time with Galatasaray.
The 26-year-old is a key player for the Turkish champions. He had a fantastic season last year, contributing 30 goals and assists. His wish to play at the highest level has led to talks about returning to one of Europe’s top leagues.
"His team will always work to get him the right opportunity," a source told TEAMtalk.
"He wants to play at the very top and compete for major trophies every season."
United are still looking for attacking players before the transfer window closes. The club wants to add more experience and goals to their team.
Osimhen’s strong record in France, Italy, and Turkey makes him appealing for Premier League teams. He played a big part in Napoli winning the Serie A title before joining Galatasaray. At Galatasaray, he kept his status as one of Europe’s best forwards.
But making a deal could be hard. Galatasaray is keen to keep their star player and does not need to sell. The Turkish club will likely ask for a large fee before they consider any offer.
Previous links to several English clubs did not go through, mostly because of financial demands. Chelsea's interest got quite far, but salary expectations became a problem.
While Osimhen is focused on his role at Galatasaray, he still dreams of a move. Fans of the Turkish side hope the club can keep him for a long time. But his camp is watching any news that could lead him back to England or another top-five league.
