The continuation of Victor Osimhen by Manchester United should become even more complicated, Napoli preparing to increase the price of the attacker if an agreement is not concluded in mid-July, according to reports in Italy.
The Nigerian striker has long been admired by United, who considers him an ideal addition to direct their attack under Ruben Amorim.
Osimhen’s rhythm and deadly finish made him one of the most coveted attackers in Europe, and with United wishing to upgrade their first line, he remains firmly on the restricted list of the club
The Red Devils are looking for a new striker before next season. Having seen the difficulties of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in Old Trafford, the Management team of Man United made their priority to sign a new number.

However, United Hopes to sign Osimhen could become much more difficult if they cannot act quickly, the price of the attacker who will increase next month, according to the Turkish Outlet Fotomac.
The report says that Osimhen’s current liberation clause in his Napoli contract is expected to expire on July 15, and after that date, there will be no fixed costs to trigger the attacker’s exit.
Napoli will be free to require higher expenses based on market conditions and the interest that Osimhen generates across Europe.
Officials of the Italian club would have clearly indicated that they did not intend to negotiate a reduced agreement for Osimhen before the expiration of the clause.
Amorim must act quickly on the market
This development exerts pressure on United, which considers Osimhen as a higher target to solve their objectives’ notation problems.
Potential outings for players like Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford could release funds for the Red Devils to finance their transfer activity, but if United does not move decisively in the coming weeks, they risk either in Osimhen, or to pay for inflated costs for the Nigerian international.
The striker would have dreamed of a move to Old Trafford this summer.
