Napoli have demanded Rasmus Hojlund plus £33.6million from Manchester United for Victor Osimhen’s signature this summer transfer window.
Man United are keen to sign a new striker to bolster their manager Ruben Amorim’s squad this summer after they failed to win any trophy during the 2024/25 season.
The Red Devils are in the running to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town.
Delap is available this summer due to the £30 million relegation release clause in his Ipswich Town contract.
But, it’s now clear that the 22-year-old’s preference is to join Premier League west London club Chelsea this summer.
Man United are exploring alternative options and according to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, the Old Trafford club have stepped up negotiations to sign Osimhen.
The report added that Man United’s director of football Matt Hargreaves travelled to Italy last week for talks with Napoli owner, Aurelio De Laurentiis, and the club’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna in a bid to land Osimhen.
Osimhen, 26, has a £63million release clause in his contract with Napoli which is only valid for teams outside of Italy.
His loan deal with Galatasaray will expire in June and the Nigerian attacker is yet to decide his next move.
