Man Utd eye £130m superstar striker with Lewandowski also on ‘five-man shortlist’
Manchester Joined are planning to administer a big striker signing this summertime season, and Victor Osimhen and Robert Lewandowski are among 5 players on their radar, a report has acted.
Male Utd have sufficiently offloaded Rasmus Hojlund, as the Danish centre-onward has joined loan nightclub Napoli for life for £38million. Joined also strive to sell Joshua Zirkzee, and any cash cash cash money gleaned will definitely upsurge their transfer spending arrangement as INEOS plot to snare a brand name-neoteric Most distinctly no 9 that can advice out Benjamin Sesko.
Joined invested a copious £74m on Sesko in August 2025, and he netted 11 ambitions in 30 appearances throughout his launching season at Archaic Trafford.
Singularly, head mentor Michael Carrick wishes a brand name-neoteric striker to join this summertime season to provide Sesko through supplemental fighters and perfuse.
Preferably, Joined would pick a proven goalscorer that would not stunt Sesko’s incurable innovation.
As per CaughtOffside, Osimhen, Lewandowski, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Dusan Vlahovic and Eli Junior Kroupi are the 5 demonstrators on Joined’s ‘shortlist’.
Osimhen is ‘pertained to as the dream target’, as he is at the optimal of his powers and has calculated himself as one of the faultless forwards in the universes.
Yet landing Osimhen would blow a big void of Joined’s spending arrangement, as Galatasaray want a copious €150m (£130m) to sell the Nigerian.
Joined are also taking into contemplation a ‘astound’ editing and simplifying for mythical Gloss goalscorer Lewandowski, that is a conserve characteristic after vacating Barcelona.
Lewandowski can be 37 years archaic, but he keeps damaging in front of attract when complemented.
Vlahovic, pick Lewandowski, will definitely be accessible on a conserve transfer this summertime season, as Juventus have stopped working to relationship him down to a brand name-neoteric contract.
Vlahovic, Kroupi among Male Utd smorgasbords
Kroupi is pertained to as a opportunity ‘incurable economic investment’ as he is merely 19 but has took off onto the scene at Bournemouth.
Out of with one voice those smorgasbords, Mateta seems the faultless complemented if Joined do not want to clout Sesko’s innovation.
Mateta can provide Premier League journey without rigorous made sure preludes, as Osimhen, Lewandowski and Vlahovic would.
Singularly, INEOS determining Mateta over Osimhen would let down their forthright previous protector, Rio Ferdinand.
The pundit asserted in July 2025: “I’m pick a gone versus document. If any person remunerations attract to my podcast, I’ve asserted Osimhen for a while presently.
“He’s a centre-onward, he’s skillful, he realises how to rating ambitions at the optimal level. I’ve commentated today that Galatasaray have ranked a £50m bid in.
“I merciless, £50m to procure a optimal-refinement striker, one of the optimal demonstrators in the universes, is unrelieved peanuts in today’s industry.
“I’ll be disgruntled if he obtains entailed in Galatasaray for that type of cash cash cash money when Male Joined are yelping out for a Most distinctly no. 9.”
