Victor Osimhen has made 133 appearances across all competitions and notched up 76 goals, and won a Serie A championship since signing Napoli from Lille during the summer of 2020. After reaching an agreement to purchase Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea, Antonio Conte's team is now prepared to let the Nigerian go for the right price.

Al-Ahli of the Saudi Pro League made an offer, but he turned it down because, according to his agent, the 25-year-old remains to have "much to do in Europe." The Nigerian international is of long-standing interest to Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain, all of whom may make an offer before the deadline.

Manchester United have been making big strides in this transfer window and with just a few days remaining in the transfer market, they might be going in for a killer move. Marcus Rashford has had a topsy-turvy career so far and the Red Devils might look to cash in on the 27-year-old. 

According to some reports, Omar Berrada, the CEO of the club, is looking to offload the striker and bring in a world-class replacement instead of him. The former Manchester City CEO has discussed the possibility of doing a swap deal with Napoli where they would get Marcus Rashford and in turn, Manchester United will have the services of Victor Osimhen.

Napoli on the verge of signing Scott Mctominay from Manchester United

Scott McTominay appears likely to depart Manchester United for new horizons after 22 years spent with the Red Devils. The £25 million sale of McTominay, 27, to Napoli is going to be made official upon the establishment of personal terms. But having made over 250 games for United, he exits as an unquestionable Carrington success story, having established himself as one of the most significant players in both his club and the country.

But Napoli, who recently finished the season with the most dismal championship defence in Serie A history, will receive more than simply a physically strong player with a penchant for big-time goals. Rather, they'll also land a talent whose mindset and demeanour have won over every manager he's ever worked under.
