Napoli forward Victor Osimhen is now 5/1 to join Manchester United this Summer
Napoli forward Victor Osimhen is one of the most sought-after talents in world football currently and bookmakers are offering odds on where he will end up in the Summer window.
Osimhen has been linked with a move to Manchester United with reports on Thursday morning suggesting that the player is the 'main target' for the club in the next Transfer Window.
Italian reporter Gianluca Di Marzio says that "United's main target is definitely Victor Osimhen and he has been that for at least two seasons. United are the favourites".
The latest odds from Unibet say that United are the 5/1 favourites if the player was to leave Napoli in the next Transfer Window with a 16% chance according to those odds.
| Victor Osimhen Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Stay at Napoli | 1/10 | 90.9% |
| Manchester United | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Chelsea | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Newcastle United | 9/1 | 10.0% |
Bookies though still make him as short as 1/10 to stay at Napoli next season
According to the latest odds it looks extremely likely that Osimhen will stay in Naples past the summer window with the odds of him staying at Napoli as short as 1/10.
It may well be that Napoli price other clubs out of a move for the forward with their initial price tag on the Nigerian forward set at €150m.
With the current conversations around Manchester United's takeover taking place it could be that the owners don't want to spend money in the upcoming window if they're due to sell the club.
