Man Utd tipped to offer Rasmus Hojlund in crazy swap deal for Chelsea striker target

Manchester United are in the market for a new striker and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen is one name that’s been on their radar for several months.

The 25-year-old is considered one of the most dangerous forwards in the world on his day and Chelsea, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain have also been heavily linked with him.

A deаl for Oѕімһen һаѕ аlwауѕ Ьeen dіffіcᴜlt dᴜe to tһe releаѕe clаᴜѕe of roᴜgһlу £110м іn һіѕ Nарolі contrаct, Ьᴜt recent reрortѕ һаʋe ѕᴜggeѕted tһаt tһe іtаlіаn gіаntѕ һаʋe droррed tһeіr deмаndѕ.

Hojlund was one of the positives in a largely disappointing 2023/24 campaign for Man Utd – scoring 16 goals in 43 games since his £72m switch from Atalanta last summer.

It seems extremely unlikely that Sir Jim Ratcliffe would be willing to part ways with Hojlund, but it’s suggested that they’ve already tried offering him to Napoli once before.

Man Utd ‘continue to monitor’ Victor Osimhen

Man Utd are reportedly once again exploring the idea of parting ways with Hojlund in exchange for Osimhen.
