Victor Osimhen is set to spark a Premier League bidding war as Manchester United and Chelsea prepare to meet Napoli's €75m release clause. The Nigerian striker, currently thriving at Galatasaray, has attracted attention for his goal-scoring prowess. Both clubs aim to secure his services in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker currently playing at Galatasaray, has reportedly attracted the attention of two Premier League clubs, Manchester United and Chelsea, who are both said to be willing to meet Napoli’s €75 million release clause for the striker. Osimhen, who had been linked with a move away from Napoli last summer, initially faced interest from several top clubs, including PSG, Chelsea, and Manchester United, but none were willing to activate his €130 million release clause.
Following his loan move to Galatasaray, Osimhen’s release clause was revised to €75 million, which has reignited transfer talks as the summer transfer window approaches. The 25-year-old has enjoyed a strong season with Galatasaray, scoring 10 goals and registering five assists in all competitions, further enhancing his reputation as one of Europe’s top strikers.
Reports suggest that both Manchester United and Chelsea are keen to bring Osimhen to the Premier League. Manchester United, despite their struggles this season, are reportedly eyeing the striker as a potential upgrade over their current options. Meanwhile, Chelsea, who are performing better in the league, are looking to add a proven goal-scorer to their squad to bolster their title aspirations.
With both clubs reportedly ready to meet the €75 million asking price, Osimhen’s future will likely be decided when the transfer window opens next summer, with both Premier League giants vying for his signature.
