Victor Osimhen has attracted interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe, including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool. According to former Napoli midfielder Salvatore Bagni, the Nigerian only has two clubs in mind for a potential summer move.
Osimhen had a phenomenal season, with 31 goals in 39 games, helping Napoli win their first Serie A title in 33 years and reach the knockout stages of the Champions League. Manchester United will be looking to sign a new striker following their release of Cristiano Ronaldo, while Chelsea will look to bring in a goalscorer for new manager Mauricio Pochettino as they prepare to sell Romelu Lukaku and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Bagni revealed that Osimhen has no intention of returning to France or Germany, and would only consider a move to Manchester United or Real Madrid. He said, “Of all the teams associated with him, for me, he would only go to Manchester United and Real Madrid. He’s not interested in the other teams.”
Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has offered hope to clubs interested in signing Osimhen, claiming that they already have a basic agreement on a two-year extension of his contract. However, he added that they would consider an offer that was too good to refuse.
Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United legend, has highlighted the potential risk of signing Osimhen, saying that no one knows if his ability and profile will be transferrable to the Premier League. He suggested that Osimhen would be a great signing, but that Harry Kane would guarantee 25 goals a season.
