Manchester United have reportedly contacted Napoli for Victor Osimhen.
The centre-forward was sent out on loan to Turkey in September after a move to Chelsea and Saudi Arabia fell apart.
Osimhen has made a big impression, scoring 12 goals and providing five assists in 15 games between the Super Lig and Europa League.
There is a release clause in his contract set at €90m, and which will drop to €80m at the end of the season.
It has been reported that Napoli would be prepared to let him leave in January for €75m.
There might also be a separate fee that the buying club would need to pay Galatasaray for interrupting the loan early.
It is claimed they already contacted his entourage and it would be ‘no problem’ agreeing personal terms with the Nigeria international.
They are struggling badly in the Premier League and want a centre-forward for new coach Ruben Amorim who better suits his style of football.
