Manchester United have been tipped to make a huge move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen by an Italian agent.
Osimhen, 25, may leave Napoli soon, even though he just agreed to stay until 2026 in December. The forward has been touted for a summer exit, with Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain mentioned as possible destinations.
However, Manchester United are expected to need a new striker when Anthony Martial's contract expires in June. That would leave Rasmus Hojlund as the only recognised striker in the United squad and, despite his recent scoring streak, the Reds would reuire reinforcement in attack. This has led Ialian agent Roberto De Fanti to discuss United's reported interest in Osimhen.

When asked which clubs are interested in the Napoli striker, De Fanti told Tuttomercatoweb: "I could say everyone, but the truth is that United above all are looking for a centre forward. Hojlund is doing reasonably well, but the classic number No.9 - the [Erling] Haaland of the situation - could be Osimhen."
That would require United to activate the release clause in the striker's contract, reported to be around £110m. That would go against Sir Jim Ratcliffe's recent plan for the club to find the next generation of superstars in the transfer market but signing Osimhen would instantly transform the team's prospects.
The 25-year-old forward has admitted that he already has a plan in mind ahead of next season. "I have already made my decision on the next step to do at the end of the season," he said. "I already made up my mind. I already have my plan, I know
