Manchester United Table £146,000-A-Week For Victor Osimhen

Manchester United are reportedly in contact with Victor Osimhen over a £85m switch to Old Trafford despite the striker insisting he would remain with Napoli for the foreseeable future, Megasportsarena.com can confirm.

Indeed, reports in Italy claim United are already working on a deal for Osimhen.

Napoli are open to his sale this summer, but will reportedly seek a whopping £85m (€100m) for his services.

The Nigerian, still only 23, has 18 goals in 31 appearances this season, including 14 in 23 Serie A starts.

United need a response in attack with neighbours Manchester City agreeing a deal to sign Erling Haaland.

While Haaland ranks in that top echelon of strikers, Osimhen certainly falls into the bracket of those pushing to make the top tier.

And his side signing could deliver added pep to a Manchester United attack that has relied far too heavily on Cristiano Ronaldo this season.

Now, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, United are reportedly hopeful of securing his signing.

With talks already underway, they claim Osimhen could agree a five-year deal worth £146,000 a week. That is more than double the money he currently earns at Napoli.
