Osimhen has continued to shine since joining Galatasaray, scoring 32 goals and providing five assists in all competitions for club and country.

The Turkish Super Lig side are desperate to hold on to the Nigerian, but his €75m release clause stands in the way. Additionally, Osimhen has made it very clear he wants to play in the English Premier League.

Concerning the reports about an agreement with Manchester United, there has been no report of such a deal from the player's camp. The striker has repeatedly mentioned that his focus is on winning the league with Galatasaray.

However, Manchester United need a top striker this summer as Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund have failed to impress. Rio Ferdinand, who won several trophies for the Reds, urged the three-time UEFA Champions League winners to go all out for Osimhen this summer, as he'll teach United's current strikers how to find the back of the net.

“We need Osimhen, we need experience, we need someone who knows how to score. Someone who can show these young strikers at Manchester United how to do it.

“If I’m Manchester United, I’m making it happen. I’m looking for someone who knows their way around the football pitch at the elite level and knows how to score at the elite level consistently. Osimhen has done that.

“I want here and now. Yes, Osimhen hasn’t played in the English Premier League, but I don’t care. I think he scores wherever he goes,” the former English International said as previously reported by Soccernet.ng.

Chelsea are also keen to bring a striker into the mix due to the inconsistencies of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson in front of goal over the past two seasons.

Former Super Eagles midfielder, Mikel Obi, admitted he's done his part to warm Osimhen's heart up to signing for the Blues, but the club has yet to put in a bid for the 2023 Scudetto winner.
