BREAKING: Manchester United Eye £110M Move for Galatasaray Star Victor Osimhen After Missing Out in 2023
Manchester United are preparing a major £110 million bid for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, aiming to finally resolve their persistent struggles in front of goal, sources linked to Old Trafford have confirmed.
The Nigerian forward, who netted an impressive 36 goals in all competitions this season for the Turkish side, is once again on United’s radar. The club had previously attempted to sign him two years ago during his standout spell at Napoli but failed. Now, under new manager Rúben Amorim, they’re renewing their interest as they search for a top-tier striker to spearhead the team’s rebuild.
In a surprising development, United are reportedly considering the sale of rising star Alejandro Garnacho to finance the move. Garnacho has been one of the few positives in an otherwise underwhelming season, attracting attention from elite clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
This approach signals a major change in Manchester United’s transfer strategy, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS now favoring experienced, proven talents over longer-term prospects. At 26, Osimhen is viewed as the ideal player to finally replace the striking prowess once offered by club legends like Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie.
United’s goal output last season was their worst in over ten years, and with young Rasmus Højlund still developing, the club knows it needs a reliable goal scorer now—not later.
Osimhen’s speed, clinical finishing, and ambition have reignited hope among fans. But with Garnacho potentially leaving, the deal could prove divisive.
One thing is certain: Manchester United are making bold moves this summer.
