Man United consider Osimhen swap offer involving Zirkzee – report

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United haven’t given up on Napoli-owned striker Victor Osimhen and are ‘studying’ the best method to approach the Partenopei, including a player-plus-cash swap offer involving Joshua Zirkzee.

Dutch striker Zirkzee could be offered to Napoli in a player-plus-cash swap deal for Osimhen, according to Gazzetta.

Football Italia exclusively reported last week that Osimhen had rejected an offer from Al-Hilal.

Although representatives of the Saudi side are expected to make a new attempt today, the Nigerian striker is unlikely to change his mind.

Man United consider Osimhen swap deal

Gazzetta confirms Osimhen is aware of Manchester United’s interest, and the Red Devils are now working on a first offer for the Napoli-owned striker.

The Red Devils seem reluctant to match the striker’s €75m clause, meaning that they’ll consider a player-plus-cash swap deal.

According to the report, Zirkzee is one of the players who could be included in the offer from Old Trafford.

A former Bologna striker, Zirkzee scored seven goals in 49 appearances across all competitions with the Red Devils in 2024-25.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have also held preliminary talks with representatives of Viktor Gyokeres, who is also a target of Juventus.
