Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly set his sights on a summer transfer to a top Premier League club, with Manchester United in pole position to get his signature in the summer window.
The Nigerian forward is prioritising a move to England over the lucrative offers from the Saudi Pro League.
Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United are all potential suitors for the Nigerian forward, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray.

According to TBR Football, the 26-year-old striker—whose contract expires in the summer of 2026—has ruled out a move to the Saudi Pro League despite a big-money offer.
“Manchester United have been informed that Osimhen would be willing to move to Old Trafford, even without Champions League football,” as quoted on TBR Football.
“The same applies to Chelsea, who are still evaluating whether to make another bid after missing out last summer. Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Newcastle are also being kept informed of Osimhen’s situation.”
Napoli open to negotiations
Napoli have given Osimhen’s representatives the green light to seek potential moves ahead of the summer window. While his release clause stands at approximately €75 million, Napoli are reportedly open to negotiations with interested clubs rather than demanding the full clause amount.
The Saudi Pro League has made contact regarding a potential deal, but Osimhen has made it clear that his focus is on securing a Premier League move.
Impressive form in Turkey
His standout performances at Galatasaray, scoring 26 goals in 30 games across all competitions, made him a highly sought-after striker.
Osimhen’s representatives are actively working on securing a deal this summer, especially with his Napoli contract set to expire in 2026. Last year, Napoli rejected an offer from PSG, while Chelsea’s contract terms did not meet his expectations.
Market value and transfer outlook
Osimhen has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €69 million, which is relatively close to his reduced release clause of €75 million. Napoli are reportedly willing to negotiate with interested clubs.
With strong interest from multiple Premier League clubs, Osimhen looks set to make his long-awaited move to English football this summer.
