Man United evaluate swapping €70m star for Victor Osimhen

Manchester United have reportedly reentered the race for Victor Osimhen and are currently evaluating a possible swap deal as make weight to reach Napoli’s high-handed price tag. 

Manchester United are one of the suitors interested in Napoli's ace, Victor Osimhen, but the Nigerian’s price tag poses a major stumbling block. The Partenopei slapped a reported €130 million release clause on their prized asset, and this has caused admirers of the Nigerian to drag their feet. 

The Red Devils' interests in the former Lille man cooled; however, in the past few days, the links have gathered momentum, and the Premier League side are said to be cooking up an offer that could include a swap deal. 

According to CalcioNapoli24, Manchester United are considering including Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund in the deal, a player they signed last summer for a reported €73.9 million fee from Atalanta. 

Hojlund has struggled to establish himself at Old Trafford, and after only a season at the club, the report claims the Red Devils are willing to part ways with him to facilitate a move for a certified goalscorer in Osimhen.

Manchester United have to get Napoli to agree to any such proposal; however, the Partenopei are not keen on the move, as new manager Antonio Conte is not a fan of Hojlund, according to reports.

Also, as Pulse Sports reported, Conte wants Romelu Lukaku to be Osimhen's replacement and Napoli have already reached an agreement in principle for the Belgian’s signature.
