Manchester United were seriously interested in signing Victor Osimhen to replace Ronaldo in the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils were even willing to agree a lucrative contract with the Nigerian international but the move did not happen.
As per the latest reports going on in the media, Man Utd are considering making a move to finally sign the Napoli striker.
Three days back, MENrevealed that the Old Trafford outfit will try to sign a new striker next year and Osimhen is on their radar.
Moreover, yesterday, La Gazzetta Dello Sport revealed
Man Utd are looking to sign Osimhen, who is a wanted player in the market.
The Italian media outlet have mentioned that Osimhen is the starting forward for Napoli but in his absence, Luciano Spalletti has been able to succeed with players like Raspadori and Simeone.
Therefore, the African star is not irreplaceable in the squad and if De Laurentiis opts to sell him then a fee of £88million will be demanded.
In the current campaign, Osimhen has missed a few games due to muscle concerns but when fit, he has been firing on all cylinders.
So far, in just 9 league starts, the Nigerian has found the net 8 times and provided 3 assists. On the other hand, he has scored a goal in 2 Champions League starts this term. For the senior national team, Osimhen has made 23 appearances thus far and scored 15 goals.
Man Utd need a top young striker to eventually replace Ronaldo. In your opinion, is £88million-rated Osimhen good enough to replace the club legend?
