'MU transfer chief flies to Italy for talks with Napoli' over striker swap deal

  /  autty

Manchester United are reportedly talking to Napoli about an earth-shattering swap involving Victor Osimhen and Rasmus Hojlund - plus a substantial fee.

Osimhen is one of Europe's most wanted men and United have flown out one of their transfer kingpins to try and steer Osimhen away from their rivals and Saudi Arabia.

United have reportedly sent recruitment planner Matt Hargreaves to sweet talk Napoli president Aurelio Di Laurentiis and sporting director Giovanni Manna.

Napoli are willing to let United have their prize if they are ready to hand over Hojlund and around £33.5million, according to local outlet Il Napolista.

Osimhen is due to return to Naples in the coming days, having spent the year on loan at Galatasaray, where he has added 36 goals and a league title to his portfolio.

Napoli lifted the Serie A title without him this weekend under Antonio Conte - just two years after he fired them to the Scudetto with 31 goals in all competitions.
