Osimhen’s heroics have now caught the attention of Europe’s top clubs, with the Nigerian set to spark a bidding war this summer. 

Real Madrid, Man Utd and PSG monitoring Osimhen

Although Osimhen still has two years left on his contract in Naples, the player’s agent is set to meet with the club’s authorities over a potential transfer. 

According to Di Marzio, as per Madrid extra, Real Madrid, Man Utd and PSG are among the clubs interested in the Super Eagles star’s services. 

Should Napoli agree to sell their prized asset, it would leave Osimhen with a decision to make, with the likes of Real Madrid, PSG and Man Utd all interested in his services.
