In a dramatic twist in the transfer saga surrounding Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker’s highly anticipated move to Manchester United has collapsed. Despite months of speculation linking Osimhen with a switch to Old Trafford, negotiations have reportedly broken down due to financial disagreements and internal strategy shifts at United. The 25-year-old Napoli forward had been identified as a marquee target to bolster United’s attack, but the Premier League club has now pulled out of the race.
Instead, Osimhen is set to make a surprise move to Borussia Dortmund. The Bundesliga side, who are preparing for the potential departure of key attackers, have acted swiftly to secure Osimhen’s signature. The deal, reportedly worth around €90 million, is expected to be finalized in the coming days.
This move marks a significant coup for Dortmund, who will gain one of Europe’s most prolific forwards. Osimhen scored 26 goals in Serie A last season and played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Scudetto triumph. Dortmund’s ability to attract such a high-profile player underlines their ambition to challenge Bayern Munich domestically and to make a deeper run in the Champions League.
Manchester United, meanwhile, will now need to reassess their transfer strategy up front.
