Victor Osimhen has been holding off a move to Al-Hilal, despite Napoli reaching agreement for the transfer. Now, Manchester United are back in the mix for the striker.
Gazzetta dello Sport report that while the Saudi club continue to make attempts for the Nigerian, the player is dreaming of a move to Manchester United.
Al-Hilal spoke to Osimhen’s entourage yesterday as well and will make one last attempt before the first phase of the summer transfer window closes today, but the forward is unlikely to change his mind and Manchester United are studying a strategy to land him in the next phase of the transfer window.
Napoli CEO Aurelio de Laurentiis wants suitors to meet the €75m release clause and the Red Devils are considering adding Joshua Zirkzee to their move.
Napoli and Manchester United had discussed a move for Alejandro Garnacho at length in January. Even though the Argentine is not a target for the Italian side anymore, the good relations between the sides can help a move for Osimhen.
In the past, there has been talk of the Red Devils looking to add other players as part of their deal for the Nigeria international. Nothing has been put forward formally and everything points towards the fact that it is an issue around wages that is holding back Manchester United and others from moving for the 26-year-old.
