Desperate Amorim Asks Manchester United Bosses to Sign Osimhen
Victor Osimhen has continued to produce goals in the Turkish Super Lig. Some of the world’s biggest clubs continue to be interested. One of them is Manchester United, which may be ready to pay Napoli for Nigeria’s signature during the winter transfer window.
Manchester United Plot Victor Osimhen WinterTransfer
In a move that screams “we’ll fix it in the transfer window,” Manchester United are reportedly gearing up to activate Victor Osimhen’s £62m release clause. Not one to shy away from chaos, United now finds itself in a bidding war with Chelsea and PSG. Three clubs, one striker, and a January window primed for drama.
The Red Devils, apparently on a quest to gift Ruben Amorim a “quality striker,” believe Osimhen is the man for the job. The Nigerian goal machine, currently lighting it up on loan at Galatasaray, has bagged 12 goals and five assists in just 15 appearances. Galatasaray fans may be crying into their kebabs soon, though, as his mid-season escape clause could see him pack his bags before the Turkish winter sets in.

From Napoli’s Hero to Conte’s Invisible Man
Osimhen’s journey from Napoli superstar to Conte’s no-longer-invited-to-training exile is one for the Netflix docuseries. Frozen out faster than leftover pizza, he was shipped off to Turkey with a loan deal that screams “we’ll figure this out later.” Meanwhile, Napoli thought they’d played 4D chess by replacing him with Romelu Lukaku. It’s been a bold strategy that has worked.
Back in the present, Manchester United, Chelsea, and PSG are now in a high-stakes game of “Who Wants to Be a Big Spender?” United might have the edge, but let’s be real—when have they ever signed a striker without drama? PSG are lurking with their oil-backed wallet, and Chelsea are probably signing him just to sit him next to their other 57 unused forwards.
And then there’s Marcus Rashford, who’s dropped the classic footballer line, “I’m ready for a new challenge,” which translates to “Who’s got a bigger paycheck?” His possible departure could pad United’s transfer budget, assuming someone’s brave enough to handle his rumored wage demands.
What This Means for Napoli?
Victor Osimhen’s transfer would have important implications for Napoli. The most important of these are:
- It would prove, once more, that Aurelio de Laurentiis is a man true to this word. The Napoli bosses, famously, only sell players for the price they think is far, and not for a Euro less. This would be another feather in his cap.
- It would solve unneeded drama. While Osimhen was vital in Napoli’s 2023 Scudetto, clearly, there is no way for him to mend relations with Antonio Conte, the current manager.
- It would bring money to the budget. Conte’s spending in the transfer market has been wise. But it’s also been limited because of the club’s financial burden. Selling Osimhen would reduce these burdens.
