Victor Osimhen's manager addresses transfer chances amid Manchester United interest

Nigeria boss Jose Peseiro thinks Napoli will struggle to keep Victor Osimhen beyond the summer transfer window.

Manchester United are in the market for a centre-forward and Erik ten Hag has earmarked Harry Kane as his priority target, but Osimhen is also on the transfer shortlist at Old Trafford, along with Goncalo Ramos and Mohammed Kudus.

Osimhen has scored 27 goals this season and he's fired Napoli to their first Serie A title for over 30 years. He's unsurprisingly attracting interest from a host of elite sides in Europe and many believe he's a better long-term option than Kane.

The Napoli star is just 24 years old and the manager of his national team Peseiro thinks he's bound to leave Naples this summer.

"Everyone wants to buy one like this, it won't be easy for Napoli to keep him in the summer," Peseiro told Tuttomercatoweb.com.

"If the Azzurri rightly ask for millions for his price tag, I am convinced that there will be several clubs willing to meet their high demands. This Osimhen would be a starter in any team in the world".

It's thought Osimhen, who is contracted at Napoli until 2025, would command a transfer fee in excess of £100million.

The player has admitted he is happy at Napoli, but he's also said it would be his 'dream' to play in the Premier League.
