Boost for Premier League teams as Napoli set to reduce asking price for Victor Osimhen

Stephen Oladehinde 12:00 - 06.04.2025

Premier League clubs could get a reduced price on Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli this summer.

The striker was unable to secure a transfer during the summer transfer window and was subsequently loaned to Galatasaray for the season after the transfer window closed in the top five leagues.

Due to his impressive performances, Osimhen has been a target for Premier League clubs for the past two years. 

Osimhen has had a remarkable season at Galatasaray, scoring 28 goals and providing five assists in 32 appearances across all competitions.

Update on Osimhen's future

Osimhen's future remains uncertain amidst transfer speculations linking him to top clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Juventus.

Napoli are prepared to offer Manchester United a discount on Osimhen's €75 million valuation to prevent him from joining Juventus.

Reports from the Peoples Person indicate that Napoli does not want Osimhen to join any of their rivals, thus eliminating Juventus as a potential destination. 

Manchester United, under new coach Ruben Amorim, are in a period of transition. The team has struggled significantly over the past three years, failing to secure a spot in European competitions. 

Amorim is looking to implement changes to revitalize the team and has identified Osimhen as a part of the change.
