Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly considering a swap deal that would send Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee to Napoli in exchange for Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen.
Zirkzee, who joined United from Bologna just six months ago, has struggled to impress at Old Trafford, managing only one goal in 17 appearances. With the January transfer window approaching, the 22-year-old could be offloaded as part of the club’s plans to strengthen their attack.
According to Il Mattino (via CN24), United are keen on signing Osimhen but aim to secure him for a reduced fee well below his €75 million (£63m/$79m) release clause. To sweeten the deal, the Red Devils are prepared to offer Zirkzee alongside a cash payment of €30 million (£25m/$31m).
