Napoli & Man Utd Contemplate Headline-Making Swap Deal | OneFootball

Juventus could miss out on Victor Osimhen’s signature after Manchester United intensified their interest in the Napoli loanee. According to Il Mattino via TuttoJuve, the clubs are considering a high-profile swap deal mutually beneficial for both sides.

Napoli failed to offload Osimhen last summer despite significant foreign interest. As a result, the 26-year-old star left Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in September to join Galatasaray on a season-long loan. However, his temporary stint in Istanbul is drawing to a halt.

Galatasaray cannot afford to keep Osimhen permanently. Therefore, he’ll head back to Napoli in June. Yet, the Nigerian’s career in Naples is dead in the water, with Aurelio De Laurentiis actively seeking a new destination for his wantaway superstar.

Juventus are said to be keeping close tabs on the former Lille ace. But the Napoli bigwig already made it clear he would never sanction Osimhen’s transfer to the Allianz Stadium. Therefore, a transfer abroad sounds like the only viable solution for Osimhen, with Man Utd hot on his heels.

Ruben Amorim is desperate to land a prolific striker after Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund failed to meet expectations at Old Trafford. Both players made names for themselves in Serie A, and the latter could soon return to his old stomping ground as part of a massive swap agreement.

Despite having Romelu Lukaku, Napoli could use another goal-getter now that they’re on the verge of returning to the Champions League. Hojlund has struggled in the Premier League, but a return to Serie A could be just what the doctor ordered for the Dane to reignite his faltering career.
