The immediate future of Victor Osimhen promises one thing for sure – another transfer window laced with intrigue and intense speculation, as witnessed earlier in the summer.

Osimhen has, however, adapted to life at the Turkish club like a duck to water, recording an impressive 11 goal involvements in his first nine appearances for the Istanbul outfit.

This seemingly impeccable run of form has now revived the ever-lingering transfer interest in the striker, with a swirling report from Livescore detailing Manchester United’s interest in the forward.

However, amid these reports, a close friend of the Nigerian striker has confirmed the Premier League club's interest.

The Nigerian striker is widely expected to make a permanent exit from Napoli in the summer of 2025.
