In a surprising turn of events, Antonio Conte’s Napoli have offered Man United the chance to sign Victor Osimhen next January in a swap deal for a Red Devils frontman.
Man United it is known that they need a striker who is a virtual guarantee of goals, and with Victor Osimhen has already scored nine in 11 Turkish Super League games for Galatasaray (transfer market), would clearly fit the bill Ruben Amorim
Victor Osimhen offered himself to Man United
Joshua Zirkzee has not impressed since his move from Bologna, and although Rasmus Hojlund it’s getting better, that it might not be enough to convince your manager.
With both players having Serie A experience, they could offer a potential solution to a swap deal Football TBR keep in mind that Naples has encouraged.
The report also claims Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran is a player of interest to the Italian giants and while Chelsea’s interest in the Nigerian hitman appeared to have waned in recent months, the Blues still appear to be keen the 25-year-old player. .
That said, Nico Jackson has shone in 2024/25 under Enzo Maresca and, given how well the Stamford Bridge side are currently playing, there is a compelling case for the west Londoners not needing to enter negotiations.
Man United could trade Zirkzee or Hojlund for Victor Osimhen
If United can offload Zirkzee in particular, then a swap deal with Osimhen makes perfect sense.
The Dutchman seemed to flourish in Serie A and would surely jump at the chance to end his Old Trafford hell, especially considering Napoli are near the top of the table and will surely be a challenge for the Scudetto this season.
If he were to go to Juventus, where his former Bologna coach Thiago Motta is now head coach, Hojlund, or even Marcus Rashford, will become potential heavyweights in the deal to bring Osimhen to the Teatro dels dreams
Things could be about to get very interesting for the Red Devils…
