The championship with Napoli, then the narrowly missed African Cup of Nations and 13 goals in all competitions so far. The last 15 months for Victor Osimhen have been quite significant, especially thanks to last season's Serie A win with his 26 league goals. This year, however, the performance has dropped for various reasons. From the team's situation, which without Spalletti is not performing as before, to the African Cup of Nations, which took the player away from the fields for more than a month. Osimhen's skills have never been in doubt and for this reason, as reported by the Independent, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain continue to follow him. In fact, the two big clubs are in pole position to sign him.
Therefore, the advances of the big European teams do not stop, with Arsenal and Chelsea following the other two closely. The figure to buy him might even be frightening, especially in Italy, but spending about 110 million euros for the Red Devils and for PSG is not a problem. In those latitudes, similar figures have been put on the table several times, just think of the purchases of Mbappé and Neymar, as well as those of Hojlund, Maguire, Antony, and Mount.
Victor has all the characteristics to be the next striker for Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, with the former being in the lead. Young, with room for growth ahead and able to vary tactically. The Red Devils intend to break into the market thanks to Ratcliffe who wants to focus on purchases, with the club ready to overturn its purchasing strategy. With Rashford performing better on the left wing and the departure of Anthony Martial in the summer on a free transfer, Osimhen would have all the space he needs in the Manchester United squad, despite the presence of the former Atalanta Hojlund.
PSG, on the other hand, is already processing the departure of Mbappé to Real Madrid and is looking around for the next substitute. The club's senior executives would like to focus on the jewels of the Primavera, although there is also the awareness that an important player needs to be signed. Finally, Osimhen's playing style would fit very well with the frenetic pressing of Luis Enrique.
