Manchester United have reportedly agreed to meet Victor Osimhen‘s transfer terms, including a €15 million annual salary, as they push to sign the Nigerian striker ahead of the summer transfer window.

Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has been in fine form, netting 31 goals and providing seven assists in 35 appearances this season.

According to TuttoJuve, United are prepared to activate Osimhen’s €75 million release clause and have tabled a lucrative €15 million salary package to lure the Napoli striker to Old Trafford.

Over the weekend, he continued his impressive run by registering a goal and an assist in Galatasaray’s 5-1 demolition of Eyüpspor, helping them maintain their lead at the top of the Süper Lig standings.

The Nigerian international, who has publicly expressed his ambition to play in the Premier League, was hailed as a “world-class striker” by former United manager José Mourinho in December 2023.
