Napoli have reportedly offered Manchester United a discount on Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as part of a potential swap deal for Argentine forward Alejandro Garnacho.
According to Il Mattino, Garnacho has agreed to join Napoli, and the Partenopei are willing to reduce Osimhen’s valuation to facilitate the deal.
The Nigerian forward is expected to be available for €75 million next summer after his loan spell at Galatasaray. However, Napoli is open to accepting an even lower fee if Man United reduce their €80 million asking price for Garnacho.

Football Italia reports that Manchester United directors are set to meet Napoli representatives to negotiate terms, as a significant gap remains between the clubs’ valuations. Napoli’s current offer for Garnacho stands at €50 million and is unlikely to exceed €60 million.
Earlier this month, La Repubblica revealed that Osimhen rejected a January move to Old Trafford, opting to remain at Galatasaray until the end of the season.
Osimhen, on a season-long loan at Galatasaray, has been in scintillating form, scoring 14 goals and providing six assists in 18 appearances across all competitions.
Negotiations between the two clubs continue, with both sides exploring ways to finalise the deal ahead of the next transfer window.
