Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have reportedly joined Manchester United in the race to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, with the Nigerian star expected to make a high-profile move in the summer transfer window.
Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been in sensational form, scoring 26 goals and providing five assists in 30 appearances for the Turkish giants. However, he is set to return to Napoli at the end of the 2024/25 season.
