Amorim targets Zirkzee-Osimhen swap deal for Manchester United

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly exploring a swap deal to bring in Napoli’s star forward, Victor Osimhen.

Amorim eyes the deal in the January transfer window.

The proposed deal would see United offer Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee plus cash to secure Osimhen’s services.

Zirkzee, who joined Manchester United from Bologna last summer, has struggled to make an impact, scoring just once in 17 appearances.

Reports suggest that the Red Devils are ready to offload the 22-year-old as part of their efforts to strengthen their attacking options.

Napoli currently values Osimhen at €75 million, but United’s initial proposal, according to Il Mattino (via CN24), will include €30 million in cash alongside Zirkzee.

The club hopes this combination will tempt the Serie A side into a deal.

Osimhen, who is on loan at Galatasaray continues to attract interest from top European clubs due to his exceptional form.
