BREAKING NEWS:Osimhen’s Surprising Response to Manchester United Deal
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has responded in a manner that has left fans and football insiders stunned amid growing speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United. As the summer transfer window approaches, rumors have intensified suggesting the Red Devils are preparing a substantial offer for the Nigerian international. However, Osimhen’s recent comments have cast doubt on the likelihood of a Premier League switch—at least for now.
Osimhen, who has been one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers following his sensational form in Serie A, did not give the kind of enthusiastic response many expected when asked about Manchester United’s interest. Instead, he expressed measured words that emphasized loyalty, patience, and a focus on his current commitments with Napoli.
His response, while respectful, was far from the usual excitement players show when linked with Premier League giants. For many fans, especially those of Manchester United, this came as a surprise. The club is in desperate need of a proven goal scorer, and Osimhen has long been viewed as a prime candidate to fill that void. United were reportedly ready to make a bid in excess of €100 million, banking on Osimhen’s impressive goal tally and physical style, which suits the Premier League.
Sources close to the player suggest that while Osimhen is open to a move in the future, he is in no rush to leave Napoli, especially after their historic Serie A title win in 2023. He remains grateful to the club that gave him a platform to shine in European football and is wary of making a hasty decision in what could be the most important move of his career.
While Manchester United may still pursue Osimhen aggressively, his unexpected and cautious stance has shifted the narrative. For now, it seems the striker is content to weigh his options carefully, rather than being swept up by the allure of the Premier League.
His reply might not have been a flat-out rejection, but it certainly wasn’t the green light United fans were hoping for.
