Manchester United have reportedly opened talks with Napoli over a possible swap deal involving Victor Osimhen and Rasmus Hojlund.
Osimhen is one of Europe’s most wanted strikers, and United have flown out one of their transfer officials to discuss the signing of Osimhen.
United have reportedly sent recruitment planner Matt Hargreaves to sweet-talk Napoli President Aurelio Di Laurentiis, as well as sporting director Giovanni Manna.
Napoli are willing to let United have their prize if they are ready to hand over Hojlund and around £33.5million, according to local outlet Il Napolista.
Osimhen is due to return to Naples in the coming days, having spent the year on loan at Galatasaray, where he has added 36 goals and a league title to his portfolio.
Napoli lifted the Serie A title without him this weekend under Antonio Conte, just two years after he fired them to the Scudetto with 31 goals in all competitions.
Osimhen, 26, has now spent seven seasons as a prolific striker in Belgium, France, Italy, and Turkey.
In 2023, for his brilliance in firing Napoli to their first title in 33 years, he was named the eighth-best footballer in the world in the Ballon d’Or vote.
