Man Utd Target January Move for Osimhen, Send Senior Scout to Monitor Nigerian 

Manchester United are among a host of clubs interested in Galatasaray striker, Victor Osimhen and have sent scouts to Turkey to watch the Nigerian ahead of a possible move, according to Sabah.

The Red Devils, alongside Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, are believed to be in the mix for the Napoli loanee, who is thriving in Turkey, scoring nine goals and providing five assists in his first 12 appearances for Galatasaray.

A long-term stay in the Super Lig, however, seems unlikely for the 25-year-old. According to Sabah, Osimhen is ‘almost certain’ to attract offers from the Premier League at some point this season with a €70m (£58m) deal in the offing.

Chelsea are said to be long-term admirers of the Nigerian, while Man United and Arsenal have reportedly started sending senior scouts to monitor the “world-class” Osimhen in action.

Osimhen’s loan deal reportedly includes a £62m release clause for January, but Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk has stated the striker is determined to finish the season in Turkey.

Man United are believed to be targeting a striker in January – the Red Devils are evaluating their options, including a potential move for Sporting Lisbon forward Viktor Gyokeres.

However, given their £180m summer spend and Ruben Amorim’s promise not to raid his former club early in 2025, a move for Gyokeres appears more likely after the season.
