Manchester United warned about Victor Osimhen transfer competition

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester United is preparing for a busy summer transfer window as the end of the season approaches. Manager Ruben Amorim is planning to rebuild the squad but has warned that player sales will be necessary to fund new signings, in line with the Premier League’s financial rules. The club is reportedly interested in striker Victor Osimhen, who currently plays for Napoli. Napoli's president has stated that Osimhen will be sold to the highest bidder during the summer transfer window. Osimhen has a release clause of €75 million (£62.7 million) for clubs outside of Italy. He has been performing well on loan at Galatasaray, scoring 20 goals. Manchester United could face stiff competition for Osimhen, making any potential deal challenging. The club may need to sell players first to afford his transfer, putting them at a disadvantage in the race to sign him. In another development, Chelsea is expected to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United after his loan ends this summer. Despite a promising start to his loan at Chelsea, Sancho has struggled recently. Reports suggest there is a £5 million get-out clause in his loan agreement, alongside a £25 million obligation for Chelsea to buy him. Regardless of Sancho's current form, Chelsea has decided to proceed with the purchase. This situation could benefit Manchester United, as they could either receive £25 million or the £5 million penalty payment while exploring options to sell Sancho themselves. Moving Sancho on appears to be the best solution for United.
