According to AfricaFoot, a member of Osimhen’s camp revealed that “an agreement has already been signed between Osimhen and Manchester United for a potential transfer in the summer of 2025.”
The report also claims that Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli permanently this summer, despite being under contract until 2026.
His transfer fee is projected to fall in the range of €30m (£26m) to €35m (£30m).
Eager to take the next step in his career, the 26-year-old is said to be eyeing a Premier League move, with Old Trafford looking like his most probable destination thanks to this alleged agreement.
Last summer, Osimhen was excluded from Napoli’s squad after attempting to engineer a move to Chelsea or Saudi side Al-Nassr, both of whom held talks with him.
He was eventually loaned to Galatasaray, where he has delivered an outstanding season, scoring 29 goals in 34 appearances.
TEAMtalk reports that United regard Osimhen as a prime target, though they will face stiff competition and a potentially hefty price tag.
Osimhen is believed to be seeking a weekly salary of around £250,000—wages that would make him one of the highest earners at the club.
While AfricaFoot suggests a £26m fee could be enough to land the striker, other sources argue that any club interested will likely need to meet his €75m (£64m) release clause to finalize the deal.
Though Osimhen is admired by many within the United camp, the club’s current Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) constraints mean they must offload players before they can afford a big-money signing.
Arsenal are also reportedly in the hunt, having shortlisted Osimhen alongside Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko, and Hugo Ekitike as part of their summer striker search.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are also tracking Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, a more affordable option at £30m with significantly lower wage demands than Osimhen.
