Manchester United and Newcastle United are leading the race for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, according to Sport Mediaset.
The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that Premier League clubs Manchester United and Newcastle United are the frontrunners for the £112,000-a-week star (SalarySport).
Napoli are willing to sell the 23-year-old for €100 million (£84.88 million), according to the report.
Newcastle United or Manchester United for Victor Osimhen?
In our opinion, Manchester United have the edge over Newcastle United in the race for Napoli striker Osimhen.
Yes, Newcastle have reportedly already made contact in regard to a summer move and PIF are wealthy owners, but Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world and are a global brand.
Turning out for the Red Devils could be very tempting for Osimhen, who would also get the chance to play alongside the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford.
If – and that is a big if – Newcastle are able to secure the services of Osimhen, then, in our opinion, that would be a big coup.
The Napoli no. 9 has scored 13 goals and given two assists in 22 Serie A starts and scored four goals in three Europa League starts this season.
