Transfer Rumours: Heung-min Son’s Transfer Could Pave Way for Osimhen’s Move to Manchester United

Tottenham Star Eyed by Galatasaray Amid United’s Pursuit of Nigerian Striker

Tottenham’s Heung-min Son could play an unexpected role in Manchester United’s pursuit of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. Reports suggest that Son’s potential departure may unlock a chain of transfers leading the Nigerian to Old Trafford.

United Target Osimhen’s Release Clause

Manchester United are reportedly planning to trigger the €75 million release clause in Osimhen’s Napoli contract, which becomes active in January. Currently on loan at Galatasaray, Osimhen has been prolific this season, scoring 10 goals in 13 matches. However, Napoli is eager to cash in on their star forward mid-season to fund key acquisitions.

Galatasaray’s Interest in Son

Galatasaray, who are covering Osimhen’s salary during his loan spell, might consider releasing the striker early if they can secure a top-tier replacement. Tottenham’s Heung-min Son, whose contract expires next summer, has emerged as a prime candidate. Fanatik reports that Spurs could be open to a January deal to avoid losing Son on a free transfer.

Challenges for United

Manchester United face stiff competition from Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, both of whom are in the market for a proven number nine. Napoli’s plans to reinvest funds from Osimhen’s sale to strengthen their Scudetto hopes add urgency to the situation. The Italian club reportedly eyes Lecce’s Parick Dorgu, Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior, and a new midfielder as part of their January plans.

Osimhen’s Tumultuous Journey

Osimhen’s tenure at Napoli has been rocky, with his relationship with the club souring after a controversial social media incident. Despite his pivotal role in Napoli’s 2022-23 Scudetto-winning campaign, he was sidelined under manager Antonio Conte. The Nigerian opted for a loan move to Galatasaray rather than endure further isolation at Napoli.

With Son’s future at Spurs uncertain and Napoli eager to rebuild, the January transfer window promises to be pivotal for all parties involved. Whether this domino effect will bring Osimhen to Manchester United remains to be seen.
