According to reports: Manchester United reopens negotiations to sign a striker with a transfer fee of up to £75 million this summer

Manchester United has reportedly restarted negotiations with Victor Osimhen. They hope to sign the Nigerian striker to strengthen their offense this summer.

Osimhen will leave Naples before the 2025-26 season. He was loaned to Galatasaray last season, scoring 37 goals and 8 assists in 41 games. He helped the team win the league title and the Turkish Cup.

According to Foot Mercato (via Get French Football News), Manchester United has now restarted negotiations with Osimheng. After a bad 2024-25 season, they hope to strengthen their roster. They have signed Cunia from Wolves.

The Red Devils scored only 44 goals in 38 Premier League games last season, with only 4 teams scoring fewer goals than the Red Devils. Rasmus Hallrond and Joshua Zilkize and others did not impress anyone. So, they are looking for attacking players.

However, according to the above report, Osimheng requires an annual salary of about 12 million euros. Meanwhile, Naples demanded a transfer fee of 75 million euros. The 26-year-old scored 76 goals and provided 18 assists in 133 games for the Italian national team.

Cunha opened the door after transferring to Manchester United

The Red Devils completed their first signing this summer, bringing Cunha from Wolves. They paid a £62.5 million termination fee. Signing is completed on Thursday, June 12.

In an interview with the club, Cunha talked about joining Manchester United, saying:

"It's hard to express my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player. When I was a kid, I watched Premier League games on TV at my grandmother's house in Brazil. Manchester United is my favorite England team and I dreamed of wearing that red jersey. I want to thank my family and everyone who helped me realize my dream.

"I can't wait for the beginning of the preseason, I'm going to get to know my teammates and prepare for the new season. All my attention now is focused on trying to be a valuable member of the team and helping the club get back to the top. ”

Cunha is an all-round forward who can play forward, second forward, winger, and even number 10. He was originally loaned to Wolves from Atletico Madrid in January 2023, and later officially transferred that summer. He scored 33 goals and provided 15 assists in 92 games.
