Market: Manchester United is positioning itself for Victor Osimhen, Rodri close to Barça

Manchester United is reportedly in the race for Victor Osimhen. The Manchester club has looked into the situation of the Galatasaray striker, as his name is also circulating around Arsenal. The Nigerian international is among the most sought-after scorers in the market. Since his arrival in Turkey, Osimhen has been particularly prolific with 61 goals in 75 appearances for Galatasaray.

According to several reports, the Red Devils have been looking to understand the necessary conditions to complete a potential deal. However, the player’s salary demands could complicate discussions. On his side, Osimhen would not be closed off to a new challenge, but Galatasaray has clearly stated that they do not wish to part with their main offensive asset.

Rodri is moving closer to FC Barcelona

At the same time, the transfer market could also heat up around Rodri. The Manchester City midfielder is expected in Barcelona on Monday to finalize his move to the Spanish champions. The 30-year-old Ballon d’Or winner is set to undergo his medical on Tuesday before signing a four-year contract with the Catalan club.

The operation could reach £65 million, or nearly €75 million, depending on the activation of all performance-related bonuses. The captain of the Spanish national team is about to open a new chapter in his career, after several seasons in the colors of Manchester City.
