Manchester United considers a cash-plus-player deal involving Joshua Zirkzee to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in the January transfer window.
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is considering a swap deal involving Joshua Zirkzee to sign Napoli forward Victor Osimhen in the January transfer window.
Zirkzee, who joined United from Bologna six months ago, has struggled at Old Trafford, scoring just one goal in 17 appearances. The Dutch striker could be included in a cash-plus-player deal to bring Osimhen to Manchester.
According to Il Mattino (via CN24), United plans to offer €30m (£25m/$31m) in cash alongside Zirkzee to convince Napoli to sell Osimhen, whose release clause is currently set at €75m (£63m/$79m).
Amorim aims to bolster United’s attack in the upcoming transfer window, with Osimhen identified as a key target to strengthen their forward line.
