Manchester United’s hopes of landing Victor Osimhen this summer are far from over. The latest uрdаtе ѕuggеѕtѕ thаt Sаudі gіаntѕ Al-Hilal have fаіlеd to соnvіnсе the Nароlі ѕtrіkеr tо mаkе a mоvе to thе Mіddlе Eаѕt, keeping thе dооr ореn fоr a potential Prеmіеr Lеаguе ѕwіtсh.
Al-Hilal’s Ambitious Bid for Victor Osimhen Falls Short
According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Al-Hilal had made a bold attempt to lure Victor Osimhen away from Europe. The Saudi Pro League club reportedly submitted a highly lucrative offer, willing to meet the striker’s massive release clause — reportedly worth around €120 million — and also offered a jaw-dropping salary package that could rival the top earners in world football.
Despite the fіnаnсіаl арреаl, Oѕіmhеn has rероrtеdlу turned dоwn thе approach. The Nigerian forward is said to be unenthusiastic about the Saudi project and remains fully focused on continuing his career at the highest level of European football.
Manchester United’s Opportunity Rekindled
The collapse of Al-Hilal’s proposal now rekindles hope for Manchester United, who have long been admirers of the 26-year-old striker. Osimhen has been on the Red Devils’ radar for some time, especially as the club eyes attacking reinforcements under incoming manager Rúben Amorim.
Reports suggest that Osimhen is open to the idea of joining the Premier League, and a move to Old Trafford would be a dream come true for the Nigerian international. While no formal offer has been made yet, Osimhen is said to be waiting for a concrete proposal from United before making any major decisions about his future.
MU’s Transfer Focus Still Unclear
Despite the opportunity, Manchester United have yet to make a decisive move for Osimhen. Internal sources indicate that the club may currently be prioritizing other targets in the transfer market.
One such name is Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford, who has emerged as a serious alternative to strengthen United’s attacking options. Mbeumo’s versatility and Premier League experience make him an appealing choice for the Red Devils, particularly if they are reluctant to meet Osimhen’s high price tag.
Victor Osimhen Premier League Dream Still Alive
Victor Osimhen has enjoyed an impressive run at Napoli, where he played a crucial role in securing the club’s Serie A title in the 2022/23 season. His blend of pace, power, and clinical finishing has made him one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe.
While Saudi clubs may continue to circle with big-money offers, Osimhen appears determined to test himself in the world’s most competitive league. With Manchester United in need of a world-class striker and the player open to a move, this transfer saga could heat up in the coming weeks.
The failure of Al-Hilal to land Osimhen gives Manchester United a renewed window of opportunity. If the club can align its finances and transfer strategy, the dream of seeing Victor Osimhen in a Red Devils jersey might just become reality.
