Newcastle United continue to be named as one of the clubs interested in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as Eddie Howe looks to further strengthen his squad this summer but face competition from Manchester United.
Msport247 reported that Manchester United have made an offer in excess of €100m for the Nigerian but Newcastle have never left the race for the Napoli man. The Magpies looked at the 23-year-old back in January, but their proposal was rejected by the Serie A side.
After this report got published, Oma Akatugba, a Nigerian journalist stated that he believes the backing of the PIF could allow Eddie Howe’s side to land Osimhen in the next window.
The journalist stated via Msport247 “I think the Premier League clubs can afford figures of around €100m, just think of Newcastle, controlled by Saudi Arabia: the question, however, is to understand if there is actually an offer”, Akatugba said.
