Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for Victor Osimhen but Juventus have now come to the negotiation table as they look to land the Napoli striker
Juventus have entered the race to sign Victor Osimhen, who has attracted huge interest this summer with Manchester United also keen on the Nigerian. His time at Napoli looks to be up and the Old Lady want to keep him in Italy.
They've resumed talks with their arch rivals, who have just claimed the Serie A title but have backed Romelu Lukaku as their main man in attack. Osimhen spent last season out on loan with Galatasaray, where he continued to be prolific.
There are a number of frontmen tipped to be on the move this summer and Gazzetta claim that Osimhen remains Juventus' primary target in attack so club representatives resumed talks with the striker’s agents in recent days.
Osimhen has a €75million (£64m) release clause but that is only valid for clubs outside Serie A, which means the Bianconeri must negotiate a transfer fee with Napoli, which could prove challenging.
Viktor Gyokeres, another man who is also linked with a move to Manchester, is expected to leave Sporting Lisbon but Juventus have Osimhen ahead of the Swedish striker on their own shortlist.
The Nigerian has already turned down a mammoth offer from Al-Hilal, which has underlined his desire to remain in Europe. Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Osimhen "must be waiting" for the Premier League giants to come calling.
He said on Rio Ferdinand Presents : "No.9, they already know who I want. The comments know, the people know who I want, who I would go and get: Osimhen! It looks like he’s turned down Al Hilal… he must be waiting for Man United. I don’t know if Man United are going to come. That’s the problem."
Osimhen only has a year left on his deal in Naples which will put his club under pressure to sell as the summer goes on. He has previously been linked with a move to Chelsea, but that never materialised last summer.
United have already landed Matheus Cunha this summer but remain on the hunt for a No.9 having missed out on Liam Delap. Their lack of European football could hamper them in some negotiations but they retain an interest in the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Gyokeres.

I know that Manchester United is not competiting in any European tournament this season but only thing that can attract VO9 is his salary demand if they can be able to settle the club Napoli, But the problem now is that Manchester United is blind to know the nessersly think to do untill it's late.

Just 64 million pounds oo, and they don't want to buy Victor Osimhen, but they can pay over 70 million pounds for Rasmus Hujlond. Very poor transfer policy summer in summer out! I am gradually losing passion for this team that I loves so much since my embryonic stage wallahi ta llahi kuwa. Back then, sometimes I leaves terminal examinations in school just to watch the team play just because of the stupid love I have for this team, but now they wants to kill me prematurely....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 God is watching 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

ManU are only good in ruining good players, so Osimhen shouldn't be the next! Think about Rashford, Sancho, Greenwood, etc, etc!
And how do they ruin players.

You seem to be an Arsenal fan a club where players only play for weekly wages but don't think about winning trophies, they also waste player's talent. a talented player has to win trophy(s), Rashford won trophies with man utd, Sancho has a trophy with man utd, Greenwood you know what happened to him.

If Man united fails to sign Victor Osimhen, I don't know what next season may look like for us. starting from when he won the league with Napoli till when he was loaned to Galatasaray, Osimhen has been a wonderful player, from scoring goals to providing assists every season and all. I won't say much about him cos he's a well known player all over europe and also has good records in his country(Nigeria). Many pundits have said a lot about him and still saying till present, I want to implore Man united not to take him for granted if truthfully we are working towards lifting the EPL title next season or in season to come.
