Italian club slaps €140m on Super Eagles forward amid Manchester United and Arsenal transfer links

The Super Eagles’ talisman presently leads the Serie A scoring charts, which has sparked attention from big European teams.

Serie A league leader, Napoli, have placed a €140m price tag on Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen amid transfer links.

Three Premier League clubs—Manchester United, Newcastle, and Arsenal—are reportedly highly interested in signing the Nigerian player in the summer, according to prior claims by Soccernet.ng.

The teams in the English Premier League are now vying for the title, and should all four finish in the top four, they would be shopping for the right player to enhance their squad prior to the 2023–24 Champions League season.

Osimhen, who is under contract to the Neapolitans until 2025, has garnered attention for his performances and aroused the interest of other teams.

The Neapolitans, on the other hand, have placed a hefty price on the striker by insisting that Osimhen would not be leaving the team for anything less.

The Nigerian international, who is committed to helping his team win the Scudetto, will have to make a difficult choice when the summer transfer period begins.

The Super Eagles striker, whose estimated market worth is approximately €70 million, joined the Italian team in 2020 for a sum of around €75 million. The Serie A heavyweights stand to gain significantly from the deal if it is ultimately successful with the top teams.
