‘He wants to play with this squad in the UCL’: Spalletti says Osimhen not interested in Man Utd

Victor Osimhen won’t be moving this summer, according to Luciano Spalletti, the head coach of Italian club Napoli, despite rumors linking him to Manchester United.

According to a number of rumors, the Nigerian international might be moving to Old Trafford as Cristiano Ronaldo’s agency is allegedly putting the finishing touches on a potential trade.

With United not qualifying for the Champions League, CR7 is said to be desperate to leave United and Napoli is a considered destination for the Portuguese.

It was gathered that United could offer €100million to Napoli for the Nigeria international, Complete Sports reports.

Manager Spalletti has however reiterated that Super Eagles striker Osimhen will remain at the Italian club this summer.

Spalletti said via Football Italia:

“Osimhen gave his response, via his agent, saying he wants to play the Champions League and he wants to play it with this squad.

“He cares about his teammates, he chases down opposition players to help out and is a very strong focal point in attack. Having him at our disposal with that mentality is the best we could ask for.”

The 23-year-old has scored two goals and recorded one assist in three league appearances for the Partenopei this season.
