Victor Osimhen came close to joining Chelseain the summer. But the move did not go through. Enzo Maresca talked about the conditions being unfavorable. Nonetheless, the 25-year-old found a way out of Napoli on a loan move to Galatasaray. He is certainly enjoying his time in Turkey. He has now managed to score 10 goals in 14 appearances for his new club. Although the ‘break‘ clause in the striker’s contract could now be active in January. As a result, top non-Serie A clubs could sign the forward on a bargain for £62 million. In fact, Ruben Amorim wants Manchester United to sign him too now.
Will Victor Osimhen join Chelsea?
The Nigerian star could pretty much be moving away. Especially considering his consistency in front of goal. Football.london thinks that Chelsea may not sign Victor Osimhen now. They feel that Nicolas Jackson has done the job so far for the Blues and as a result they might aim to save money. Moreover, their defense needs more work anyway. Arsenalalso remain in contention to sign the 25-year-old man. It will be interesting to see where he plays next. Given the rising interest, it is highly unlikely that he will keep playing in Turkey.
Manchester United to sweep in for the striker
The Red Devils are struggling again. Despite sacking Erik Ten Hag, Ruben Amorim finds Manchester United in a terrible condition. They are unable to score goals. Now with Marcus Rashford being open to a move, they need a new forward anyway. The Portuguese coach wants the club to move in for Victor Osimhen and snatch him away from Chelsea. Moreover, he also has Tyler Dibling and Ronald Araujo on his list. But that means the Red Devils will have to splurge big time in the transfer window. But signing the Nigerian striker would certainly help them a lot. Moreover, triggering the break clause will help them save some money too. So signing him makes the most sense as of now.
🚨 Ruben Amorim has handed INEOS his wish-list of 3 players he would like to sign:
🇳🇬 Victor Osimhen
🇺🇾 Ronald Araujo
🏴 Tyler Dibling
Manchester United are reportedly ready to spend around £166M for these players. 💰
