BREAKING: Manchester United Prioritize Osimhen as Chelsea Exit Race
Manchester United have emerged as front-runners in the race to sign Victor Osimhen this summer, following Chelsea’s decision to pull out of the deal. The Nigerian striker has long been on the radar of top European clubs, but his hefty wage demands appear to have ruled Chelsea out of the running.
Chelsea, known for their strict, incentive-heavy wage structure, are reportedly unwilling to match Osimhen’s salary expectations. Despite initial interest and scouting, the Blues have now shifted focus, leaving the path clearer for their Premier League rivals.
In contrast, Manchester United are pushing strongly for the Napoli star and have made their intentions clear. Sources close to the club suggest that Osimhen is seen as their top transfer priority. United are eager to bolster their attack and view the 25-year-old as a perfect fit for their long-term project under the current rebuild.
Napoli are expected to demand a significant fee, but United remain confident they can structure a deal. With Chelsea out, the Red Devils now have a golden opportunity to land one of Europe’s most lethal strikers. The transfer battle is heating up—and all eyes are now on Old Trafford.
