Exclusive: Man Utd ‘Fear Champions League Giants’ in Race to Sign £63m Star

Manchester United are worried that they will be unable to lure Victor Osimhen to Old Trafford when he returns to parent club Napoli from Galatasaray ahead of the summer transfer window as Paris Saint-Germain are emerging as leading contenders for his signature, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim has been making plans to bolster his squad in preparation for his first full season at the helm, and he could see his budget increase if Premier League counterparts Aston Villa opt to take advantage of a £40million option to turn Marcus Rashford’s loan into a permanent deal.

There will be further money coming into Manchester United if Chelsea keep Jadon Sancho, as long as they do not choose to pay a £5million penalty fee to send him back at the end of the temporary agreement, but there are growing concerns that they will be beaten to Osimhen’s services.

Amorim Concerned in Battle to Land Osimhen

Manchester United fear Champions League quarter-finalists PSG in the race to sign Osimhen, according to GMS sources, as the French giants are seen as the frontrunners to get the deal over the line thanks to having the funds to meet his salary demands and a price tag in the region of £63million.

The striker is pocketing more than £160,000-per-week during his season-long loan spell with Turkish heavyweights Galatasaray and, having made it clear less than 12 months ago that he wanted to embark on a fresh challenge away from Serie A title-chasers Napoli, he is expected to seal a permanent move elsewhere at the end of the campaign.

GMS sources have been informed that Manchester United and fellow Premier League admirers Chelsea are most wary of PSG if it comes down to a tug-of-war for Osimhen – after a productive season in front of goal – thanks to the Parc des Princes-based outfit’s financial muscle.

Although Joshua Zirkzee joined the Red Devils in a switch worth £36.5million from Napoli’s domestic rivals Bologna last summer, Amorim is determined to secure another centre forward to provide the Dutchman and Rasmus Hojlund with additional competition for a regular starting berth next term.

Osimhen has previously shown a desire to move to PSG, complicating matters for Manchester United, and GMS sources have learned that he is impressed by the progress shown by the Ligue 1 giants under boss Luis Enrique ahead of potentially becoming a new star name in the French capital.
