Former Italy international Salvatore Bagni believes Manchester United are one of only two clubs that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen would be interested in joining this summer.
The Nigerian international, 24, has established himself as one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe after a stellar 2022/23 campaign with Napoli. Osimhen netted a very impressive 31 goals in 39 appearances in all competitions, helping them clinch their first Serie A title in more than 30 years.
His exploits also helped the Italian outfit reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. He has developed at a rapid rate of knots since joining Napoli in 2020, scoring 59 goals in 101 games.
It means he is being linked with a plethora of European heavyweights following the opening of this summer's transfer window, including United, who identified the former Lille ace as a target back in November. And former Napoli star Bangi believes the Reds, along with Real Madrid, would appeal to Osimhen.

"He's not interested in the other teams."
Osimhen, who has scored 49 goals in all competitions since the beginning of the 2021/22 season, is considered as one of only a handful of elite-level strikers that could be attainable this summer, despite Napoli being set to demand an eye-watering transfer fee.
