Sources in Turkey are reporting that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, will sign a deal with Manchester United this summer.
Serdar Ali Çelikler from VOLE claims that Osimhen has agreed to the move and settled on terms. The only outstanding issue is reaching an agreement with Napoli, who own the player’s rights.
Journalist Aygün Özipek reports the terms of the future contract as 5 years, and the transfer fee as £60 million. Osimhen’s salary will be £12.8 million per year.
Ahmet Konanç, who reported on Anthony Martial’s negotiations with Turkish clubs, is also confident in the Nigerian forward’s move to Ruben Amorim’s team.
Victor Osimhen: What’s Next?
This season, Osimhen has played 25 matches for Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Lig and scored 21 goals. The forward’s current transfer value is €70 million. At his peak, the striker was valued at €120 million in 2023.
His current loan agreement with Galatasaray runs until June 30, 2025, and his contract with Napoli is valid until June 30, 2026.
If he signs a contract with Manchester United, Osimhen could become a key figure in the rebuilding of the team, which Ruben Amorim mentioned in a recent interview after reaching the Europa League semi-finals. It’s also worth noting that Arsenal had previously shown interest in the striker.
