Manchester United are in desperate need of a top-tier goal striker, and Victor Osimhen is once again back in the lime light.
La Gazzetta Dello Sport reported today that Premier League teams including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle are preparing bids to recruit the Nigerian international this summer.
The English teams, who have “no rivals in Europe,” may present significant offers in the coming days.
Jorge Mendes attempted to finalize a deal to bring Osimhen to Old Trafford last summer, but was unsuccessful in his attempt.
Now, United, the Reds and the Magpies are ‘preparing raises’ to lure the African superstar, who won the Paolo Rossi award in the Scudetto winning last campaign.

French champions, PSG, made a bid worth 100 million euros for the former Lille center forward but it was turned down by the Serie A giants.
It is reported that Napoli president, Aurelio de Laurentiis, will only sell his prized asset if the minimum asking price of £154m (180m euros) is met.
GdS claim among PL sides, Liverpool are favorites with the highest possibility of signing Osimhen in the summer transfer window.
However, Napoli will be playing Champions League football next season and the Merseysiders can only offer Europa League to the player.
This might mean he heads elsewhere this summer.
