Man Utd Seek Discount on £62M Release Clause for Arsenal, PSG Transfer Target

Victor Osimhen’s transfer saga was one of the major talking points last summer, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly battling for the Nigerian striker.

As 2025 unfolds, the 26-year-old’s long-term future remains uncertain, with questions lingering over where he’ll be playing beyond this season.

Osimhen has regained the form that made him a standout in the 2022-23 season during his current loan spell at Galatasaray and is now poised to attract increased interest from Europe’s top clubs, like PSG.

After a failed permanent move away from Napoli, Osimhen made a loan switch to Galatasaray, where he’s been in superb form. In just 16 appearances this season, the striker has netted 13 goals and registered five assists.

What’s the latest on Victor Osimhen?

Calciomercato’s Daniele Longo reports that Manchester United are actively exploring a strategy to sign Victor Osimhen this month. The club is looking to negotiate a discount on the Nigerian striker’s £62 million release clause with Napoli.

United are fully committed to landing Osimhen and are even prepared to sacrifice Joshua Zirkzee to secure the deal. However, PSG are also in the race for the forward, intensifying the competition.

Meanwhile, Football Insider reported, citing sources, that Arsenal are keeping tabs on Osimhen for a potential January move as they aim for a high-profile deal.
