Man United are planning to make a move for Chelsea target Victor Osimhen. The Red Devils are desperate to improve their attack next year. The Blues do have a great squad but still want to add Osimhen to the attacking firepower.
Chelsea were keen to sign Osimhen this summer with the club trying hard until the end. But the deal never happened which was Osimhen join Galatasaray on loan. The 25 year old is unlikely to stay at Turkey beyond his loan spell.
Nicolas Jackson has been in a superb form this season. But, Chelsea are still keen to sign the Nigerian and make him their main striker. But, now it seems like they will face heavy competition from their Premier League rivals.
Man United joined Chelsea in the race to sign Osimhen
As per CaughtOffside, Osimhen has emereged as a top target for United. The Red Devils are uncertain about the future of Marcus Rashford. In addition, summer signing Joshua Zirkzee has completely failed to make impact on the team.
Osimhen will be a quality replacement for both of the above mentioned stars. He will directly get into starting lineup and provide Amorim with the high quality in final third. Osimhen has 14 goal involvements in 14 games this season which displays his quality.
Along with United, Juventus have also shown interest in signing Osimhen. The Old Lady are willing to sell Dusan Vlahovic next year. It is due to the Serbian’s contract situation which is set to expire in summer 2026. The new contract is proving too hard to agree by both parties.
Lastly, Chelsea will hope that none of the clubs make a move for Osimhen. They will look to sign a new striker in order to replace Nkunku. But unlike Nkunku, Osimhen will demand regular football and will be unwilling to sit on bench.
