Rio Ferdinand Says Osimhen Would Join Man United If Offered

Ferdinand's podcast remark revives speculation despite Osimhen's long Galatasaray contract, with a reported €140m price tag.

Overview

  • Speaking with Asamoah Gyan on his podcast, Ferdinand asserted that Victor Osimhen would accept a Manchester United move if the club made an offer.
  • Osimhen is under contract at Galatasaray after a reported £65m permanent transfer following a loan from Napoli, and he has been prolific with 49 goals in 57 appearances.
  • Galatasaray have reportedly set an asking price of around €140m (£121m), and there is no public indication of a formal bid or negotiations from Manchester United.
  • United invested in Benjamin Sesko in the summer and have faced scrutiny over forward output, which frames ongoing debate about a marquee striker.
  • Reports indicate United are prioritizing a short-term left-wing addition this window due to financial constraints, highlighting the speculative nature of an Osimhen pursuit.
