Liverpool join Man Utd, Real Madrid to fight for Osimhen

Super Eagles and Lille of France forward, Victor Osimhen, has turned beautiful bride as Liverpool renewed their bid ahead of Tottenham Hotspurs, Real Madrid and Manchester United to grab the Nigerian in the summer.

Manchester United are already lining up the Lille striker this summer, while Lionel Messi wants Antoine Griezmann sold, all in the European papers.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s “priority” in the summer is Osimhen, to complete attacking formation with loanee Odion Ighalo.

Osimhen, 21, has scored 18 goals in 38 appearances for Lille this season after joining from Belgian outfit Charleroi last summer.

Such form saw him linked with Liverpool and Tottenham in the January transfer window; the Reds had reportedly been tracking the 21-year-old extensively throughout the first half of the season.

Now though French publication Le10 Sport claim United have locked on to the forward and looking to strike a deal in the summer, which could see them pair Osimhen with loan star Odion Ighalo.

Solskjaer is keen to make Ighalo’s loan permanent and the French source report that United feel Osimhen has “all the qualities” to succeed in the Premier League.
