Victor Osimhen’s name is currently in the spotlight as Manchester United continues to look for a world-class striker.
The forward’s agent will meet with Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis today, according to today’s edition of La Gazzetta Dello Sport (press image provided below). They will talk about the forward’s future.
The Naples-based team wants to keep hold of their prized possession, but in the event that a “indispensable proposal” emerges that can strengthen the club’s financial situation, it will be evaluated.
Osimhen’s agent will be presented with a new contract proposal by De Laurentiis and will concurrently inquire about the “actual amount” required to sell the Nigerian player this summer.
The 24-year-old is also wanted by Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea, according to GdS, but Man Utd is reportedly waiting for the right time and prepared to make the appropriate offer to sign him.
The Italian champions are seeking at least 120 million euros (£102.6 million) from his sale as far as asking price is concerned.
Osimhen scored 26 goals during the previous season, giving him 31 goals overall in all competitions, earning him the Serie A Golden Boot award.
Since Robin van Persie accomplished the feat in the 2012–13 season, no member of Manchester United has won the Golden Boot award in the Premier League.
