Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly eager to make a move to the Premier League in January, with Manchester United showing strong interest in the Nigerian forward.
Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on loan in September 2024 after failed transfer deadline day moves to Chelsea and the Saudi Pro League, could see his situation reassessed in the upcoming transfer window. Reports suggest that Galatasaray could receive around €10 million in compensation if the loan agreement is terminated early.
Sources indicate that Osimhen is determined to join Manchester United, with initial steps already taken to finalize the deal. Napoli is said to have included a €90 million release clause in Osimhen’s contract, with €10 million of that allocated to Galatasaray. However, rumors suggest the clause could drop to €75 million to help facilitate the transfer.

This news comes after Manchester United’s new manager, Ruben Amorim, confirmed that he would not pursue Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP during the mid-season window.
Osimhen has been in outstanding form for Galatasaray, netting 12 goals and providing five assists in 15 competitive matches this season. The striker also celebrated his 26th birthday last month.
