AC Milan join Manchester United in Victor Osimhen transfer race

Italian champions AC Milan could make a shock move for Napoli hitman Victor Napoli this summer as a replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Rossoneri claimed their first Serie A title in eleven years after a dominant 3-0 victory over Sassuolo. And that could be a big attraction for some of Europe’s big stars.

However, AC Milan could lose some of their attacking talents this summer. Ageing Ibrahimovic could leave the club, as he played a peripheral role last season. Also, danger man Rafael Leao has been linked with a move out of the club.

Victor Osimhen remains one of the stand-out performers in the Serie A, bagging 18 goals and 6 assists in 32 appearances across all competitions. The Nigerian has some solid physical attributes and strong goal-scoring skills that make him a good fit for the Premier League.

The Super Eagles star has been courted by top English sides, with Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle the frontrunners for his signature. Napoli may hold out for a €110million fee, and with the kind of interest from the Premier League, a move to the business capital of Italy could be a tough ask.
