United’s transfer chief, Matt Hargreaves, reportedly traveled to Naples to negotiate the deal, aiming to bolster the team’s attacking options.
Osimhen, 26, has impressed during his loan at Galatasaray, scoring 36 goals and providing eight assists in 40 appearances.
His prolific form has attracted interest from several top clubs, but Manchester United are keen to secure his signature to address their scoring woes.
Napoli, while open to the idea of a swap, are reportedly holding out for a higher cash component in the deal.
The Italian club values Osimhen highly and may prefer a straightforward cash transaction to meet their financial goals.
Manchester United’s pursuit of Osimhen aligns with their strategy to revamp the squad after a disappointing season, reports Metro.
The club finished 15th in the Premier League and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham, prompting a reassessment of their attacking options.
As negotiations continue, both clubs are weighing their options to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
Osimhen’s potential move to Old Trafford would mark a significant step in Manchester United’s efforts to rebuild and compete at the highest level.
