Napoli star Victor Osimhen has reiterated his love for the club, its fans, and the president, expressing his happiness in Italy. However, despite his affection for Napoli, speculation over his future continues to grow.
Antonio Conte’s appointment as Napoli’s head coach has only fueled rumors of Osimhen’s possible departure. European giants are now lining up bids as they anticipate a high-profile transfer saga this summer.
With Napoli open to offers, Osimhen could be on the move, and several Premier League clubs are keen to secure his services.
Arsenal Chelsea and Manchester United in the Race
Arsenal is expected to make a significant move for a new striker after missing out in January. The Gunners attempted to sign Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa but saw their bid rejected. Now, they are prioritizing a marquee signing to lead their attack.
Chelsea, too, is actively searching for a new striker, with Nicolas Jackson’s inconsistent form raising concerns. The Blues are reportedly considering a move for Osimhen as they look to strengthen their frontline ahead of next season.
Manchester United is also in the mix, having spent over £100 million on Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. However, concerns remain over whether they have the right striker to lead the line, prompting speculation that United may look to bring in another high-profile forward.
Rio Ferdinand’s Take on Osimhen to United
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has been vocal about his desire to see Osimhen at Old Trafford. He previously suggested that United should have tried to secure the Nigerian forward on loan in January.
Ferdinand believes Osimhen would be the ideal striker for the Red Devils, but with Napoli demanding a hefty transfer fee, United will have to decide if they are willing to meet the asking price.
With Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United all in the race, Osimhen’s future remains uncertain. A bidding war could soon erupt as clubs prepare to make their move for one of Europe’s top strikers.
