Man Utd Poised to Take Transfer Lead Over Arsenal, Chelsea for €70M-Rated PSG Target

Victor Osimhen’s transfer saga dominated headlines this past summer, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain both reportedly interested in the Nigerian striker.

Now, as he rediscovers the form that made him a standout during the 2022-23 season, Osimhen is expected to draw even more attention from top clubs when the 2025 transfer windows open.

After a move from Napoli fell through, the 25-year-old secured a loan to Galatasaray, where he has been in outstanding form. In just 11 appearances for the Turkish side this season, he has racked up eight goals and five assists.

Tuttomercatoweb reports that Osimhen’s release clause is set at approximately €80 million in January, with a potential reduction to €70 million next summer. Daniel Riolo of After Foot RMC has also suggested that Paris Saint-Germain could reignite their interest in the striker.

Does Man Utd want to take lead on the Victor Osimhen file?

Il Mattino reports (h/t TEAMtalk) that Manchester United are among the top European clubs eyeing Osimhen for a potential January move, with Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus also in the mix.

Meanwhile, TEAMtalk highlights Chelsea’s ongoing interest in the Nigerian striker, who has a €75 million (£62.1 million/$79.3 million) release clause in his Galatasaray loan deal.

CaughtOffside reported earlier this month, citing sources, that Arsenal and Chelsea are considering other top forward options, including Osimhen and Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic.
