Napoli forward Victor Osimhen is reportedly keen to make the move to Manchester United during this summer's transfer window.
Osimhen's future is currently the subject of much speculation, as he is expected to leave Napoli on a permanent basis this summer rather than be a part of their squad for the 2025-26 campaign.
The 26-year-old joined Galatasaray on loan last September, and he has enjoyed a strong season for the Turkish giants, scoring 20 goals and registering five assists in 27 appearances in all competitions.
There has recently been strong speculation linking the Nigeria international with a move to Man United, with journalist Anthony Nlebem of Business Day claiming that a transfer is already '95% complete'.
Napoli are believed to be interested in Rasmus Hojlund, meanwhile, opening up the possibility of a swap deal, although the Italian giants would seemingly still be looking for cash to be included.

Osimhen 'wants to join Man United this summer'
According to TEAMtalk, Osimhen is keen to make the move to Old Trafford during this summer's transfer window, with the Nigerian 'greatly appreciative' of the interest from the 20-time English champions.
The report claims that Paris Saint-Germain are also in the running, while Chelsea and Arsenal also want to sign a new centre-forward this summer, with the pair said to be keeping a close eye on the situation.
Osimhen will allegedly have a £62m release clause in his contract this summer, making him an affordable option considering his quality.
The striker has made 133 appearances for Napoli, scoring 76 goals and registering 12 assists in the process, and his transfer would be one of the standout deals of the summer if a move went through.

Would Osimhen be a good signing for Man United?
Osimhen is a class act and undoubtedly one of the leading strikers in world football, so it would be a huge statement of intent from Man United if they were able to secure his signature.
There will have to be sales from the Red Devils this summer to make the move a possibility, but if Hojlund was included, then it could suddenly become a very affordable deal for Ruben Amorim's side.
Man United desperately need a reliable goalscorer, and Osimhen fits the brief, managing 76 goals for Napoli in all competitions and 20 on loan at Galatasaray this term, while his Champions League record reads nine goals in 17 outings.
There are a lack of top-quality strikers available at this moment in time, and the Red Devils simply cannot afford to miss out on a player of Osimhen's ilk, but PSG, Chelsea and Arsenal are also seemingly firmly in the running for his signature.
That said, Osimhen has refused to rule out the possibility of extending his stay at Galatasaray.
