Since arriving at Galatasaray, Osimhen has wasted no time showcasing his immense talent, delivering 16 goal contributions in just 15 appearances, according to stats from FotMob.
His remarkable form has reignited interest from Premier League clubs, with transfer expert, Sacha Tavolieri, recently confirming Manchester United’s keen pursuit of the prolific striker.
While Ruben Amorim’s side is reportedly interested in the 25-year-old, a fresh report has emerged about another Premier League club aiming to hijack the deal and secure Osimhen’s signature.
New EPL club to rival United for Osimhen
According to a newly surfaced report from media outlet Napoli Zone, Unai Emery’s Aston Villa have entered the race to sign the Nigerian forward.
The report suggests Aston Villa are exploring various approaches to secure Osimhen’s signature, including the possibility of including a player as part of the deal.
Napoli, however, remain firm on their stance for a permanent transfer and are expected to demand a fee in the region of €75 million to facilitate the move.
Aston Villa’s interest in the prolific striker coincides with lingering interest from Paris Saint-Germain. The Ligue 1 giants have reportedly frozen out their first-choice striker, Randal Kolo Muani, and are prepared to make a strong push to sign Osimhen as early as the winter transfer window.
The future of Napoli’s on-loan star remains uncertain, but the developments promise to make the transfer saga both intriguing and exciting.
