Victor Osimhen’s transfer market boost has shifted the race as Manchester United step back, giving PSG, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid a clearer path to the Super Eagles striker – SuperEaglesNG.com reports.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United now consider a move for the Nigerian too expensive because of his transfer fee and high wage demands linked to his current deal in Turkey.
Victor Osimhen continues to attract top clubs after scoring 59 goals and making 16 assists in 74 games for Galatasaray. His form has pushed him onto the radar of elite European sides ahead of the 2026/2027 season.
He has stayed focused on his current club, but he has also left the door open for a move if the right offer arrives. Manchester United once saw him as a key target under their new project, but they now shift attention to more affordable attacking options.
With United out of the race, Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid gain stronger positions in the chase.
PSG may still reduce their interest as they move closer to signing other attacking targets. Barcelona still need a reliable striker after changes in their forward line, but financial limits make any deal difficult. Atletico Madrid also stay alert as the transfer window develops, watching how negotiations unfold.
