      However, boss Erik ten Hag is looking to bring in a new striker this summer and has identified Napoli’s Victor Osimhen as his No1 target.

      And this week they have allegedly added Roma’s ex-Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham to their transfer wishlist.
      However, now a fresh claim could see them go back in for former target Dybala.

      He put pen to paper on a three-year deal with the Giallorossi that earns him £5million per season, including bonuses.

      He then stated that it was a personal discussion with Roma manager Jose Mourinho, previously the boss at Old Trafford, that convinced him to move to the Italian capital instead.
      But Sport have claimed that part of his package there included a clause that would allow him to leave for just £10.7m this summer.

      Man Utd transfer blow as Napoli president insists club ‘don’t have to sell’ £107m target Osimhen

      by

      But recent reports have emerged suggesting Man Utd are preparing to launch a staggering £107million transfer bid.
      Such a deal would equal the current British transfer record set by Chelsea’s acquisition of Enzo Fernandez in January.
      However, despite the potentially huge offer, Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis remains defiant over the possibility of a sale.
      Speaking to German outlet Bild, De Laurentiis said: “I can tell you that Osimhen is not for sale.

      “Our players are in demand, but I don’t have to sell anyone. We don’t have any debts.”
      Osimhen’s stock is only on an upward trajectory given the current form he is displaying.
      He scored twice in Napoli’s 3-0 win at Spezia over the weekend, taking his Serie A tally for the season up to 16.
      Consequently, a reported £133m price tag from the club seems more and more reasonable.

      Ronaldo, 38, has already had one record shattered this month by Lionel Messi.
      The Paris Saint-Germain star now has 697 goals across Europe’s top five leagues, breaking the previous number held by Ronnie.
      But there’s further bad news for the Al-Nassr star.
      That’s because Napoli ace Osimhen, 24, has set a new record for the highest jumping record in Serie A.

      Ronaldo set the previous bar while playing for Juventus.
      His incredible headed goal against Sampdoria in 2019 saw the striker leap 2.56 metres in the air.
      But that figure has now been outshone by Man Utd and Chelsea target Osimhen, who jumped 2.58m while scoring against Spezia on Sunday.
      The Nigeria international scored his 15th and 16th goals of the season as Napoli moved 13 points clear at the top of the table.

      But the ex-Man Utd man still boasts numerous other records which are unlikely to be broken any time soon.

      Ronaldo has the most appearances, goals and assists in the Champions League.
      And he also boasts the most international goals after overtaking Iran legend Ali Daei in 2021. More
