United had previously shown interest in signing the former African Player of the Year.
Victor Osimhen, on loan at Galatasaray, is set to return to Napoli at the end of the season where his release clause is set at €75m.
According to Calciomercato.com (via Football Italia), Manchester United is hesitant to meet Osimhen’s transfer fee but is preparing an offer of €40m plus Rasmus Højlund.
Repubblica reported in January that United had already shown interest in signing the striker during the winter transfer window, but Osimhen declined to leave Galatasaray midway through the season.
Since joining Galatasaray, the Super Eagles star has been in exceptional form, scoring 14 goals and providing four assists in 19 Turkish Super Lig appearances. He has also made seven appearances in the UEFA Europa League, scoring six goals and registering one assist.
Osimhen has contributed 20 goals and five assists in 26 matches across all competitions this season.
In contrast, Højlund has faced a challenging 2024-25 season with United, scoring just seven goals and providing one assist in 32 appearances across all competitions.
