Man Utd, Chelsea cannot afford Osimhen, Napoli chief insists
Napoli President, De Laurentiis, insisted that Manchester United and Chelsea did not have the cash to purchase Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen this summer.
“Osimhen? The only club that could afford him is PSG. So, if Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants to spend €200m, we wait and then evaluate. Personally I think he’ll stay,” De Laurentiis told Sport Mediaset.
Osimhen is not the only striker who might head to the French capital this summer. The Independent report that PSG are ‘leading the race’ for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani.
He has adapted brilliantly to life in Germany, netting 23 goals in 46 games during his debut season there.
Man Utd have previously identified Kolo Muani as a target, but it now looks like he will be joining PSG instead.
Frankfurt have slapped a €100m (£85m) price tag on the Frenchman, so if PSG want to pair him with Osimhen then they will have to spend a whopping £255m.
If PSG miss out on either Osimhen or Kolo Muani, then they could pursue Juventus attacker Dusan Vlahovic instead. He has been placed on their shortlist as a backup option.
Man Utd would have loved to have signed either Osimhen or Kolo Muani, but they will simply be too expensive. The Red Devils could still get a lethal forward through the door though as they are in pole position to snare Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta.
Man Utd have already had a £30m bid for Hojlund rejected by Atalanta and are now ready to return with an improved £50m offer. Recent reports have suggested Erik ten Hag’s side could send either Amad Diallo or Mason Greenwood on loan to the Italian outfit to help sweeten the deal for them.
Chelsea are rumoured to be interested in Hojlund as well, but he would prefer a switch to Old Trafford as he is a self-confessed Man Utd supporter.
Hojlund, Osimhen and Kolo Muani are far from the only strikers who will secure big transfers this summer, as Harry Kane could also be on the move. Bayern have turned away from Osimhen and Kolo Muani and are now prioritising a swoop for the England captain.
