A member of Osimhen’s entourage has revealed that a United deal is already in place, according to sensational reports from Africa Foot.

The Nigeria international is due back at Napoli once this season ends after spending it on loan with Galatasaray.

Turkish journalist Serdar Ali Celikler claimed on NEO Spor that the striker has reached an agreement with United.

But a club deal hasn’t been struck between Napoli and United yet.

Sources said no mention of an exact transfer fee has been mentioned, but they estimate it at between £25-30 million.

Osimhen’s current deal with Napoli expires in 2026, so the Serie A side will want to avoid letting him go for free.

Africa Foot added that Osimhen’s team are “very enthusiastic” about the idea of a move to the Premier League.

United have long been interested and their problems in front of goal under Ruben Amorim have seen those links re-emerge.

There were talks of a Napoli swap deal for Alejandro Garnacho in January, after the young Argentine’s struggles this season.

Osimhen has scored 29 goals in 34 games this season, including 21 in the Super Lig.

Osimhen desperately searched for a new club last summer after Antonio Conte signed Romelu Lukaku to replace him at Napoli.

He had been expected to leave Napoli – where he won the 2022-23 Serie A title- via a permanent transfer earlier that summer but no move materialised.

Osimhen’s camp held talks with Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Saudi Arabian clubs, though no deal could be struck.

Osimhen was subsequently left out of Napoli’s official Serie A squad before Galatasaray saved him by completing a season-long loan.

Galatasaray would love to sign Osimhen permanently, though he would rather play for a global juggernaut next.
