Man Utd ready to pay €75m release clause for 20-goal star?

Manchester United are prepared to pay the release clause in the contract of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer, according to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu.

The Nigerian star was on the radar of several Premier League clubs last summer, but none were prepared to trigger his release clause worth €130 million.

Osimhen ended up signing for Galatasaray on loan. As part of the deal, Napoli also agreed to reduce his release clause to €75m at the end of the current season.

United are one of the long-term admirers of the 26-year-old and Yagiz claims that they are prepared to meet the clause figure when the transfer window reopens.

The former Lille man has been in superb form for the Turkish champions this campaign. He has already netted 20 goals in all competitions for the Istanbul outfit.

Aside from United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are also keeping tabs on the Nigerian, who is expected to leave Napoli at the beginning of the transfer window.
