Why Osimhen has doubts about Manchester United move

Tuttosport confirms Jorge Mendes is trying to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to Napoli and Victor Osimhen to Manchester United, but the Nigeria international doesn’t seem entirely convinced of joining the Red Devils.

Sky Sport Italia reported last night that Ronaldo is desperate to leave Old Trafford to play Champions League football this season, so his agent Jorge Mendes has offered him to several Italian clubs, including Inter, Milan and Napoli.

With Osimhen being a long-time target of the Red Devils, Mendes’ plan is to bring Ronaldo to the Stadio Maradona and the Nigeria striker to Old Trafford.

According to Tuttosport, Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda has been informed about the possible deal, but his client isn’t entirely convinced of joining the Red Devils.

Osimhen also wants to play Champions League football and is convinced he can further develop under Luciano Spalletti this term.

Negotiations between the two clubs haven’t begun, but according to Tuttosport, Mendes’ plan is to bring Ronaldo on loan to Napoli, while United would sign Osimhen for €100m, offering him a salary exceeding €10m per season.
