Napoli are preparing for life after Victor Osimhen, with several Premier League clubs—including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool are intensifying their pursuit of the Nigerian striker.
Man United are desperate for attacking reinforcements after a dismal season under Ruben Amorim. With Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee struggling for goals, the Red Devils are prioritising a prolific centre-forward in the upcoming transfer window.

According to Calciomercato, new head coach Antonio Conte admires Romelu Lukaku, but the club is leaning towards Moise Kean as a more viable option. Kean, who has revived his career at Fiorentina with 21 goals this season, is considered a younger and more cost-effective alternative.
With a €52 million release clause, Kean presents a cheaper option compared to Osimhen and other high-profile strikers such as Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres, and Benjamin Sesko. Napoli’s move for Kean could also impact Newcastle United’s plans, as they might be more inclined to keep Isak amid interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.
Osimhen, who has a €75 million release clause, is widely expected to leave Napoli this summer, with a strong preference for a move to the Premier League. While his wages are significant, the Nigerian star has no intention of accepting a pay cut.
Osimhen’s departure would free up substantial funds for Napoli to reinvest in their squad. For United, securing a reliable goal-scorer remains a top priority as they seek to rebuild after a challenging season.
