Manchester United need to pay at least £84 million to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer, Tuttosport claims.
The Nigeria international has had an injury-plagued season in Naples, but has still impressed with 15 goals and four assists from 25 games.
It is now reported that he is attracting plenty of transfer interest from the Premier League, most particularly from the Red Devils.
The club are searching for a top quality striker, considering the overdependence on Cristiano Ronaldo since his homecoming.
Ronaldo has bagged 18 goals this term. In comparison, Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani have netted a combined seven for the club.
It is well known that Cavani will be shown the exit door when his contract expires this summer. Osimhen could be the replacement.
While wages won't be a concern, the hierarchy may not have any room to negotiate over the transfer fee with the Serie A heavyweights.
Napoli owner Aurelio de Laurentiis does not allow any space for compensation, and may only sell for the price tag on the table.
