Napoli want €150m for Manchester United target Victor Osimhen

Manchester United need to spend €150 million to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, reports Corriere della Sera.

Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag sees the Nigerian international as ‘the last piece of a dream attack’.

However, Man United will have to pip Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich to the services of the 24-year-old.

Osimhen has bagged 26 goals in 33 games across all competitions for Napoli this term.

The Serie A club are a point away from winning the Italian top-flight title for the first time since 1990.

The Nigerian has been key to their brilliant campaign, and the club deserve top dollar for his services.

Despite being linked with the biggest clubs in Germany and France, a move to England appeals to Osimhen.

The former Lille star has admitted several times he would love to play in the Premier League, handing Man United a boost.

The Red Devils have also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane.

However, the England international striker will be 30 in July and is slowly approaching the twilight of his career.

Osimhen is still a few years away from reaching his prime, and Man United will be smart to land him.

Marcus Rashford has boosted them with his goals this term, but they could do with another prolific forward next term.

They are still behind Manchester City in terms of squad quality, and landing Osimhen will help shorten the gap.

The Glazers are unlikely to splash the cash on the Napoli star, but a takeover will boost the club’s chances of getting him

SunSport understands United stars are desperate for the Glazer family to sell up to end the negative atmosphere and boost their squad with world-class signings. United fans sang about signing Kane in their 2-2 draw at Spurs on Thursday — after their boss Ten Hag had called him “a great player and personality”. And now Ten Hag says: “Everyone knows and it is not a secret that long-term and over a whole season we had a shortage of No9s. “We had the drop out of [Cristiano] Ronaldo, then Anthony Martial was often not available, Jadon Sancho often not available, then you have a shortage of front line players. “We have players who can play the role but definitely we need some offensive players who are impact and qual...

Crystal Palace planning huge summer transfer overhaul with Man Utd and Chelsea stars targeted and Zaha future in doubt...

CRYSTAL PALACE are preparing to spend big in the summer to reboot their long-term plan after sacking Patrick Vieira. Vieira had replaced Hodgson in 2021 as they looked to move to the new level, investing in a number of younger more attacking players. After a successful first season, including an FA Cup semi-final, Vieira failed to kick on in South London and Palace are preparing another push this summer. There have been tensions in the boardroom over the level of spending in recent windows, with some feeling more should have been done to help Vieira in January. However, there is a feeling everyone is close to being on the same page ahead of the summer. And while there is also a new manager to appoint, with Hodgson currently in the gig until the end of the season, a list of targets are being drawn up. The Eagles are keen to bring in new faces along the entire back four, to cover and compete with their existing options. Academy product Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who joined Manchester United in ...
