Manchester United have identified Victor Osimhen as a priority transfer target ahead of the upcoming summer window.
The Nigerian striker has delivered an outstanding campaign for Galatasaray, contributing 22 goals and eight assists across the season.
United already have Benjamin Sesko in their ranks, but the club believes a second experienced striker is necessary to share the goalscoring burden.
Osimhen is viewed as a player who could immediately improve Manchester United’s attack and help elevate their performance in the final third.
The 27-year-old has been hailed as a “force of nature” and has demonstrated his quality across multiple top-level leagues throughout his career.
Sesko enjoyed an impressive debut season at Old Trafford, though the club feels he cannot be relied upon to lead the line every single week.
With Manchester United now competing in the Champions League, the squad depth up front becomes an even more critical priority for the club.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Osimhen represents a dream transfer target for United as they plan their summer recruitment strategy.
At 27, Osimhen is considered to be at the absolute peak of his powers and a move to United could suit both parties well.
Galatasaray, however, are under no pressure to sell and are expected to demand a significant fee for their prized striker this summer.
It remains unclear whether Manchester United are prepared to meet Galatasaray’s likely asking price for the in-form Nigerian international.
Should the deal be completed, Osimhen could also serve as an experienced mentor for the younger Sesko as he continues his development.
