AC Milan have reportedly joined the queue for Victor Osimhen, who is also a target for Manchester United, with the Rossoneri ready to make an interesting offer to Napoli.
Megasportsarena.com reports that Manchester United remain in the hunt for the Nigerian hitman, who carries a big price tag, with Napoli demanding a fee over €100 million.
Victor Osimhen insisted last week that he would remain in Napoli next season and pledged his allegiance to the club.
The Nigerian forward has been one of the top names on the lips of many big clubs in the Premier League heading into the summer transfer window and his style with could suit English clubs, while his goalscoring record warrants a big investment.
Napoli are at a crossroads regarding Osimhen, as Aurelio De Laurentiis ponders a decision over the striker’s future. While the Napoli president remains keen to hold on to the forward, the eccentric Napoli supremo could sell him for an offer over €100 million.
Napoli reportedly rejected a bid worth €90 million from Arsenal, and the Gunners could be expected to go back with an improved offer. Meanwhile, other clubs from the Premier League, such as Manchester United, are keeping close tabs on the striker’s situation.
The Red Devils want to sign a new striker in the summer, as they are left with only Cristiano Ronaldo as an out-and-out centre-forward at the club. Osmihen is considered a target, with a firm eye on the long-term future.
Napoli are looking to make a profit over their huge investment in the striker. They paid nearly €70 million to Lille to secure his and would consider bids over €100 million to let him leave.
