Man Utd target Osimhen drops major transfer hint with photo of social media

Victor Osimhen has sparked fresh speculation over his future after posting a cryptic, wordless message on social media — just as Manchester United continue to be linked with the prolific Napoli striker.

The 25-year-old forward shared a black-and-white photo of himself walking toward the camera with no caption — but fans quickly interpreted the post as a symbolic gesture, possibly hinting at an impending transfer or personal reflection after a turbulent season.

Osimhen’s future at Napoli remains uncertain, despite signing a new deal in late 2023. His release clause is believed to be around €120 million (£102 million), and both United and Paris Saint-Germain are monitoring his situation.

The Nigerian striker has been vocal about his ambitions to play in the Premier League one day, which has only fueled rumours that Old Trafford could be his next destination.

“Osimhen’s body language and social media activity have become part of the transfer watch,” said Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio earlier this month. “He knows the eyes are on him.”

United are reportedly exploring a possible player-plus-cash deal, involving Rasmus Højlund heading to Napoli, with Osimhen arriving in return. United’s interest has been long-standing, and with the club missing out on Champions League football, INEOS and Rúben Amorim are pushing for ready-made quality up front.

Osimhen has scored 17 goals this season despite injury setbacks and Napoli’s overall drop in form since winning the Serie A title in 2023. He remains one of Europe’s most feared strikers — and his potential arrival would signal a major statement of intent by United’s new regime.

Though his recent Instagram post lacked words, the message was loud and clear to fans: change may be coming.

Whether that change involves a move to the Premier League or elsewhere remains to be seen, but one thing is certain — Victor Osimhen is keeping everyone guessing.
