Manchester United have reportedly been priced out of a move to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer.
With the long-term futures of Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo uncertain, the Red Devils will likely target a new centre-forward ahead of the 2022-23 campaign and Osimhen is believed to be one of several names on their radar.
Arsenal, Newcastle United and Real Madrid are also keeping tabs on the 22-year-old Nigeria international, who has scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 22 appearances for Napoli across all competitions this season.
However, the Daily Star reports that Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis values Osimhen at £100m and is unwilling to let the striker leave on the cheap, after spending a club-record £70m to lure him from Lille in 2020.
Osimhen, who is under contract at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium until June 2025, scored 18 goals in 38 appearances for Lille before netting 21 times in 51 games for Napoli.
Away from Italy, the report adds that Man United have also identified RB Leipzig full-back Nordi Mukiele as a potential target next summer.
