Manchester United could sign Osimhen amid a new transfer strategy
Manager Erik ten Hag and United’s recruitment staff are allegedly scouting players entering the final 12 months of their contracts as part of a new transfer strategy.
As a result, the club may be able to attract the best players who will be discounted for moves from their current clubs.
The report states that Napoli star Victor Osimhen is a potential target for United, given that his contract expires in the summer of 2025 – he will be a target for next summer.
According to Italian director Il Mattino (trans Football Italy), however, the Nigerian has put forward his demands for a new contract for his current club. If no deal is reached, United will be in a position to pounce on it.
Meanwhile, United are in a much safer position when it comes to existing contract players. Stars such as Raphael Varane, Bruno Fernandes and Rashford are all committed to the club – or have contract options – until at least 2026 and beyond, with Hojlund, Onana and Mount all signing deals until 2029.
