Manchester United have joined the race to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray.

According to reports, the English club has already made enquiries about the availability of the forward as they consider strengthening their attacking options.

Osimhen, who has also been linked with a move to Arsenal, is regarded as one of the most lethal goal scorers in world football.

The Nigerian has scored 61 goals in 75 appearances for Galatasaray, further increasing interest in his services.

Manchester United make Osimhen enquiry

Reports indicate that Manchester United have made enquiries about the requirements needed to complete a transfer for Osimhen.

However, the striker’s salary expectations could prove to be a stumbling block in any potential deal.

While Osimhen is reportedly open to a move away from Galatasaray, the Turkish club is said to have no intention of selling the Nigerian forward.

The situation could make negotiations difficult for Manchester United and other clubs interested in securing his services.

Arsenal also linked with Osimhen

Osimhen has been heavily linked with a potential transfer to Arsenal, with the Premier League club reportedly considering the Nigerian as a possible attacking reinforcement.

The latest interest from Manchester United could intensify the competition for his signature if Galatasaray eventually decides to entertain offers.

Osimhen’s goalscoring record continues to make him one of the most sought-after forwards in European football.

Rodri set for Barcelona move

Meanwhile, Manchester City midfielder Rodri is scheduled to arrive in Barcelona on Monday to complete a significant transfer to the La Liga champions.

The Spain international is expected to undergo a medical examination on Tuesday as part of the process.

The 30-year-old Ballon d’Or winner could reportedly cost Barcelona £65 million if all performance-related bonuses included in the agreement are fulfilled.

Rodri is expected to sign a four-year contract with Barcelona after completing the required formalities.

The proposed move would represent a major transfer for the Spanish club as it seeks to strengthen its midfield with one of the leading players in world football.
