Fabrizio Romano has dropped a major update over transfer rumours linking Victor Osimhen to Manchester United in the January transfer window.Osimhen finds himself on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli after he was unable to find a suitable permanent move in the summer.

Victor Osimhen turned down a transfer to Manchester United in 2020 because he had "too much respect" for one of the club's first-team players. The 25-year-old striker, who became the most expensive African player ever in the summer of 2020, when he joined Napoli from Ligue 1 side Lille, has been linked with a move to United in recent days.

As reported by Spanish news outlet Fichajes, United are plotting a huge bid to meet Osimhen's £62 million (€75 million) release clause to lure him to Old Trafford. Apart from the Red Devils, it has been said that both Chelsea and French giants Paris Saint Germain are also in the race to sign Osimhen.
