Chelsea, Manchester United get massive boost as Osimhen shuns Serie A move

Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are now on alert after Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, turned down an offer from the record Serie A champions, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 26-year-old forward is on the radar of several clubs, ranging from the top five leagues in Europe to the oil money teams in the Saudi Pro League.

He’s been excellent during his loan spell with Galatasaray, but as the summer beckons, the big question about the next club he’ll play for continues to ring. One thing is clear, he’s not playing for Napoli.

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea need an upgrade on Nicolas Jackson, and their former coach, Roberto Di Matteo has urged them to consider making a move for Victor Osimhen or Alexander Isak.

The pair Di Matteo mentioned are also being considered by Arsenal, while Manchester United are looking for a fresh summer start to a full season under Ruben Amorim.

It is believed Osimhen will be available for about £63m when the transfer window reopens and it’ll be interesting to see the final destination of the 2023 Scudetto winner.
