Italian agent Roberto De Fanti has revealed the keen interest shown by EPL side Manchester United in signing Napoli FC hitman, Victor Osimhen next summer.
In an interview with Tuttomercatoweb, De Fanti opened up about Man United’s interest in Osimhen, stating that the Nigerian international is still the standard No. 9 that the team is itching to sign.
According to him, Rasmus Hojlund is doing reasonably well for Manchester United, but Osimhen is the ideal striker they want to lead the team next season in the Premier League.
He said, “I could say everyone, but the truth is that United, above all, are looking for a centre forward.
“[Rasmus] Hojlund is doing reasonably well, but the classic number No.9—the [Erling] Haaland of the situation—could be Osimhen.”
Osimhen, who has also been courted by other clubs, including Arsenal FC, PSG, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea, is valued at around $130 million by his club.
