Super Eagles Striker, Victor Osimhen is currently on the top list of European clubs with Real Madrid and Manchester United reportedly looking to acquire the forward.
Erik Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has suggested Osimhen of Napoli as a potential Cristiano Ronaldo successor.
Given that the Portugal captain may depart Old Trafford in January, the Dutch manager has already begun making plans for life without him.
Due to a lack of attacking options, Ten Hag, who joined the Red Devils from Ajax over the summer, wanted to keep Ronaldo.
But since the veteran’s performances this season have fallen short of expectations, the Dutch coach now needs another striker.
Regardless of whether he departs or stays, United is committed to finding a new centre forward, and Osimhen is reportedly very high on the Red’s list, according to The Evening News.
Also, it was reported that Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti begged Florentino Perez to do everything possible to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli in January.
After failing to sign Kylian Mbappe this summer, Ancelotti returned to the Bernabeu last year with plans to strengthen his attack.
According to the Spanish news agency Sport, Ancelotti is now forced to name Osimhen as a priority purchase in the winter transfer window due to Karim Benzema’s current injury troubles.
The Nigerian striker has been in outstanding form for Napoli, scoring nine goals in 13 games across all competitions to help Luciano Spalletti’s team go undefeated for a 14-game stretch and to top the Serie A table.
