Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly attracted serious interest from Manchester United, with the English club making a substantial €70 million (₦113 billion) bid to Napoli, according to Galatasaray transfer insider Kağan Dursun.
However, despite their efforts, the Nigerian forward remains committed to his current club for the time being.
Osimhen’s Stellar Form
Victor Osimhen has been in remarkable form this season, netting his 14th goal across all competitions during Galatasaray’s 1-1 draw with Hatayspor.
The 25-year-old has quickly become a key player for the Turkish champions, earning admiration from clubs across Europe.
Under manager Ruben Amorim, Osimhen has thrived, demonstrating his ability to perform at the highest level.
Despite his exceptional displays, Osimhen has expressed his intention to stay at Galatasaray until the summer.
This stance, however, hasn’t deterred Manchester United, who are keen to strengthen their attacking options.

Verbal Offer Falls Short
Dursun revealed in an interview with habersarikirmizi that Manchester United made a verbal proposal to Napoli, who own Osimhen’s rights, to secure his signature.
“The club came to Istanbul to convince Osimhen but came back empty-handed,” Dursun said, underlining the player’s current commitment to Galatasaray.
Victor Osimhen’s contract reportedly includes a January exit clause, allowing negotiations with other clubs, though it doesn’t restrict him solely to Galatasaray.
Dursun added: “Osimhen’s promise is clear: if you can convince him, do it.”
