Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is very close to joining Manchester United

Victor Osimhen

According to numerous European sources, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has decided to join Manchester United despite the Red Devils' inability to participate in the Champions League.

The player's release clause is reportedly in the range of 110-120 million euros, but MU hopes its partner can lower the price.

There have been several attractive offers for Osimhen, but the player only wants to play for Manchester United. The 26-year-old striker has made his choice, and the ball is now in Manchester United's court.

In other developments, Real Madrid is considering Alvaro Carreras, the left-back currently playing for Benfica, as the final piece of the puzzle for the 2025/26 squad.

Alvaro was a Manchester United player before moving to Benfica for £5 million in May 2024. When releasing the player, Manchester United included a buy-back clause of £15 million and a resale value clause of 40-50%. If Alvaro moves to Real Madrid, the “Red Devils” will certainly receive a significant “share” fee.

This is seen as a valuable financial resource to help coach Ruben Amorim strengthen his squad in the coming period.

Alvaro performed exceptionally well in the 2024/25 season. He started in 30 matches in the Portuguese National Championship, totaling 47 matches across all competitions, scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists, playing a key role in helping Benfica win the National Cup and finish as runners-up in the national championship.
