Manchester United's Pursuit Intensifies as Osimhen Declares Transfer Preference
Manchester United target Victor Osimhen has expressed his preference for a move to the Premier League, despite recent interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Napoli striker, highly regarded by United transfer chiefs, has been prioritized by manager Erik ten Hag as the club’s primary central striker target this summer.
United scouts were present at Napoli’s Champions League clash against Milan last month, where Osimhen found the net.

While his goals couldn’t secure Napoli’s progress in Europe, they played a crucial role in securing the Italian club’s first league title in 33 years.
Reports suggest that United is in pole position to secure Osimhen’s signature, with Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain also monitoring the Nigerian’s situation.
Napoli officials believe that the player is distracted by the Premier League interest, leading to growing speculation that the club may consider selling him if an irresistible offer is made.
While PSG’s interest in Osimhen is genuine, the striker recently made a trip to the French capital, further fueling speculation.
However, his preference is to play in English football, with the Premier League being his dream destination.
Osimhen himself has spoken about his aspirations to play in the Premier League, and United has been closely monitoring his performances.

The club’s long-term target remains Tottenham striker Harry Kane, but alternatives such as Benfica’s Goncalo Ramos, Ajax’s Mohammed Kudus, and Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund are also being considered.
As United continues its pursuit of a new central striker, Osimhen’s desire to play in the Premier League positions the club as a strong contender for his signature, should negotiations progress in the coming months.
