According to Transfermarkt, Osimhen has netted 12 goals and contributed five assists in 15 matches across all competitions for the Turkish giants, prompting a major interest in him by many top teams.

Man United make contact with Osimhen

Man United are already ‘in contact’ with Osimhen’s representative and that there will be ‘no trouble’ in reaching an agreement on personal terms with the Galatasaray player, Sky Sports Sweden reports.

The Red Devils are working hard to beat rivals Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain to the signature of the Nigerian forward who could cut short his loan spell in Turkey if the right deal comes along.

Man United are hoping the sale of Marcus Rashford could open the door for Osimhen to arrive at Old Trafford after the England international admitted he wants to leave the club as early as the winter transfer window.

Buruk claims the Nigerian striker has promised to finish his loan spell with the Turkish club and stay till the end of the season, denting any hopes of Man United signing him in the winter window.
