Manchester United are INTERESTED in Osimhen but there is no agreement

Manchester United are INTERESTED in Osimhen but there is no agreement. 

United are waiting to know whether they will qualify for the Champions League or not to understand the amount that will be spent. The Red Devils are keen on bolstering their attacking options, and the Nigerian striker has emerged as a top target. Osimhen's impressive performances for Napoli in the Serie A have caught the attention of several top European clubs, including United.

According to sources close to the club, Manchester United's hierarchy has been monitoring Osimhen's progress closely and are impressed with his pace, power, and finishing ability. The 23-year-old has already scored 16 goals in 28 appearances for Napoli this season, and his ability to hold up the ball and bring others into play has drawn comparisons with some of the world's top strikers.

However, United's pursuit of Osimhen is not without its complications. The club's financial situation is heavily dependent on their Champions League qualification, and they are unwilling to commit to a significant transfer fee until they know whether they will be playing in Europe's top competition next season. United's current top scorer, Anthony Martial, has struggled with injuries and consistency issues, and the club is desperate to add a reliable goal-scorer to their ranks.

Napoli, on the other hand, are determined to hold onto their prized asset, and it is believed that they will demand a fee in excess of £80 million for Osimhen's services. United are reluctant to meet Napoli's valuation, and the two clubs are currently at an impasse in their negotiations.

Despite the standoff, United remain hopeful that they can persuade Osimhen to join them this summer. The club's new manager, Erik ten Hag, is believed to be a huge fan of the Nigerian striker and sees him as the perfect fit for his attacking system. Ten Hag's tactics rely heavily on pace and movement upfront, and Osimhen's attributes would make him an ideal foil for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.

In the coming weeks, United's priority will be to secure Champions League qualification, which would give them the financial muscle to pursue Osimhen and other top targets. The Red Devils face a crucial run-in, with games against top-four rivals Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur still to come. If they can navigate this challenging period successfully, they will be well-placed to make a serious bid for Osimhen's signature.

For now, United's interest in Osimhen remains a watching brief, but the club's fans will be hoping that the Nigerian striker can be persuaded to join the Red Devils this summer. With his talent and potential, Osimhen could be the missing piece in United's attack, and the prospect of him leading the line at Old Trafford is an exciting one for the club's supporters.
