Manchester United's offer for Osimhen revealed!

Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen, whom Galatasaray loaned from Napoli for one year at the start of the season, has once again gathered the interest of Europe's major clubs with his performance in the yellow-red jersey. Manchester United has now stepped in for Osimhen, who received offers from Arsenal, Chelsea, PSG, and some Saudi Arabian clubs during the summer transfer window but did not complete a move. As the Italian media announced the offer Manchester United made for Osimhen, a striking claim regarding Galatasaray also came to the fore. Here are the details...

CONTROVERSIAL DEPARTURE FROM NAPOLI

Victor Osimhen entered a difficult period in his career in Italy following the Serie A title he helped Napoli win after 33 years. Following a video posted on Napoli's social media account that mocked Osimhen, the Nigerian footballer decided to leave the Italian club.

HE HAD MANY SUITORS FROM EUROPE

After Antonio Conte became the head coach of Napoli, Chelsea, Arsenal, and PSG wanted to add Victor Osimhen, who was deemed surplus to requirements following the transfer of Romelu Lukaku, to their squads, but an agreement could not be reached with Napoli. Although several clubs from Saudi Arabia managed to meet Napoli's financial demands, Osimhen did not prefer to go to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career, and this situation led to the transfer reaching a stalemate.

GALATASARAY EVALUATED THE OPPORTUNITY WELL

As the transfer window in Europe closed, Osimhen's refusal to go to Saudi Arabia prompted Galatasaray to take action. The yellow-reds reached an agreement with Napoli and Osimhen and brought the Nigerian striker to Istanbul.

HE LEFT HIS MARK WITH HIS GOALS

Victor Osimhen, who has played in 9 matches for Galatasaray, has scored 8 goals and provided 4 assists. The Nigerian star has become a fan favorite in a short time and has managed to get back on the radar of European giants.

WILL GALATASARAY BUY HIS TRANSFER RIGHTS?

While the Galatasaray management began official contacts to purchase Osimhen's transfer rights, it was expected that Napoli Sporting Director Giovanni Manna would come to Istanbul and official negotiations between the two clubs would begin. However, the negotiations could not progress because Manna did not come to Istanbul. Upon this, the yellow-reds began searching for sponsors to purchase Osimhen's transfer rights. It was stated that 25 million euros of Napoli's 75 million euro release clause would be requested in January, and the remaining portion in June.

GIANT CLUBS ARE INVOLVED

In addition to leading European clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Juventus, it is claimed that Manchester United has also stepped in for Osimhen. It is alleged that United has proposed Joshua Zirkzee, whom they transferred from Bologna, to Napoli as a swap.

MANCHESTER UNITED'S OSIMHEN OFFER

According to the report by Il Mattino, which is known for its proximity to Napoli, Manchester United offered 30 million euros to Napoli in addition to Joshua Zirkzee. However, it was stated that Napoli demanded 75 million euros in cash for this transfer.

GALATASARAY CLAIM: THE ONLY CONCRETE INTEREST

The report in Il Mattino included the following statements:

"Osimhen is one of the keys to Napoli's January market. The 75 million Euro clause can be applied as early as January, but no one other than Galatasaray has given a signal in this direction."

"MANCHESTER UNITED WANTS HIM"

"Everyone wants Osi, but at a reasonable price... Like Manchester United, which proposed a sensational swap for Joshua Zirkzee, who was a discovery in the last Serie A with Bologna but is seen as a fiasco in the Premier League."

"NEGOTIATIONS WILL BE HELD BEFORE THE WINTER TRANSFER"

"A meeting will be held in the coming weeks. Napoli has doubts. They only want cash (United is offering 30 million and Zirkzee); they do not want a swap. However, this November full of goals has revived the Nigerian's dreams. So, Osi's breakthrough may have already happened in the winter period. The dreamed-of capital is in any case a not-so-bad sum."

"THE ONLY PROBLEM IS HIS SALARY"

"However, when it comes to Osimhen, one needs to wait before saying yes to a deal. Especially because of the weight of his 12 million net salary on the negotiations."
