And that does not appear to have been ruled out despite the two aforementioned players remaining at Old Trafford. United have recently reached an agreement to sign Antony from Ajax worth £84million, and now signing a striker appears to be being explored with time running out this summer.
According to Jonathan Shrager, Napoli are not ‘willing’ to let Osimhen go to United on a loan deal this summer. The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford – with Arsenal and Chelsea also linked previously. They may still entertain a permanent transfer at the right price, however.
Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti has also revealed that the player is not particularly keen on the move, with United’s lack of Champions League football cited as the reason why. He told DAZN: “Osimhen gave his response, via his agent, saying he wants to play the Champions League and he wants to play it with this squad.
The 37-year-old is exploring all his options to find an exit, with his agent Jorge Mendes holding talks with numerous different clubs, including Chelsea and Bayern Munich, to find potential suitors for his client. Ronaldo’s former club Sporting has also been linked with the striker, though a concrete offer is not reportedly on the table from the Portuguese club.
