The Nigerian has starred for Napoli in recent times and his stock has grown rapidly, attracting interest from Europe’s top clubs over the last few months and his stint in Naples may be coming to an end soon.

His agent recently spoke about his desire to stay at Napoli but other clubs feel they can tempt the forward away from the club, and Napoli would find it hard to refuse a big offer.

Now, according to Fichajes, there are three clubs interested in the Napoli man and a transfer could be on the cards soon, and it won’t be cheap either.

Three clubs interested in Osimhen

Manchester United have always maintained an interest and there was talk of a summer move, with Cristiano Ronaldo going the other way, but that never materialized.

The club currently use Marcus Rashford as their forward, with Anthony Martial struggling for fitness and Ronaldo’s future at the club still unclear.

That could open the door for a move for Osimhen, and Manchester United would be open to spending big to land a forward at the club.

Arsenal are another club who have long maintained an interest in Osimhen, and could be tempted to make a move for him, however, this may be complicated.

They already have Gabriel Jesus amongst their ranks and would need someone to support him, but a new forward is not an essential signing for them and a transfer may not happen.

Finally, Bayern Munich need a new forward after the sale of Robert Lewandowski over the summer, and while Sadio Mane is doing well, things aren’t quite the same without an out-and-out forward.

Osimhen is one player they are keeping tabs on, while other options include Lautaro Martinez and Joao Felix and it remains to be seen what they do about this situation.
