Juventus have reportedly submitted the highest offer for Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, 26, valued at €70m, as the Italian giants aim to strengthen their attack.
Manchester United, who were previously linked with Osimhen, have ruled out a move for the Nigerian international.
Osimhen’s impressive form has attracted interest from several top clubs, but Juventus are leading the chase with their lucrative bid.
Meanwhile, transfer expert, David Ornstein, has claimed that Paris Saint Germain have also came into the transfer picture for Osimhen after Manchester United reportedly dropped their interest.
PSG have been keeping tabs on Osimhen for a while now, and with the summer transfer window approaching, talk around his future is heating up.
Currently playing for Galatasaray, the Nigerian striker has found his groove again, showing the same form that made him one of Europe’s hottest talents back in the 2022-23 season. He’s scored 30 goals and provided seven assists in 35 matches across all competitions, catching the attention of several top clubs once more.
According to GIVE ME SPORT, Manchester United are starting to worry about PSG’s growing interest. The French side are now considered the frontrunners to sign him.
PSG have the financial muscle to make a deal happen and are reportedly ready to meet both Osimhen’s wage demands and his £63 million release clause. The report also claims that United and Chelsea see PSG as their biggest competition in the race to land the 26-year-old.
On Wednesday, GIVE ME SPORT’s Ben Jacobs reported that Al-Hilal have held on to the budget they originally set aside to try and sign Mohamed Salah, and they’re now planning to use it on another big-name player.
With the Club World Cup on the horizon, the club is eager to bring in a marquee signing—and Osimhen is one of the names being considered. He’s reportedly open to a move to Saudi Arabia.
