The race to secure Victor Osimhen’s signature is really heating up, with Juventus stepping in with an €85 million bid for the striker, as reported by Stretty News. The Nigerian forward, currently on loan at Galatasaray, is gearing up to return to Napoli, which has sparked a flurry of interest from top European clubs. Despite Juventus' hefty offer, Manchester United is still seen as the frontrunner to snag this prolific forward.
Osimhen’s €75 million release clause is only applicable for clubs outside of Italy, which gives teams like Manchester United a chance to make a move. While Juventus’ bid surpasses the release clause, they face some serious hurdles. The long-standing rivalry between Juventus and Napoli, along with financial limitations, makes a transfer to Turin seem pretty unlikely. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is not keen on selling Osimhen to their northern Italian rivals, which could give United the upper hand.
Manchester United has been keeping a close eye on the 26-year-old striker, whose impressive mix of strength, speed, and finishing skills makes him an ideal fit for Erik ten Hag’s attacking style. With their financial backing and global appeal, United presents Osimhen with the opportunity to compete at the highest level, both in the Premier League and in Europe.
While Juventus has made a bold play, Manchester United’s greater financial resources and attractive playing prospects position them as the stronger contender. The combination of United’s rich history and Osimhen’s desire for a challenge in one of the world’s most competitive leagues could ultimately sway the decision in their favor.
As the transfer window unfolds, all eyes will be on whether Osimhen makes the leap to Old Trafford or if Juventus can pull off a surprising coup.
