Napoli set Osimhen price as Man Utd favoured over Chelsea

Napoli want £150m to sell star striker Victor Osimhen this summer.

Il Mattino says Manchester United and Chelsea chasing his signature.

Osimhen is one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe and has turned heads with his clinical displays that have seen him net 25 goals for the Naples outfit and helped them go 19 points clear at the top of Serie A.

Napoli are braced for a flood of offers for the 24-year-old at the end of the season after his dazzling campaign - and have geared up for the interest by slapping a huge price tag on the Nigerian.

The Italian outfit are under no pressure to sell their prized asset - who is under contract until 2025 - with president Aurelio De Laurentiis not interested in sitting down with any club who offers a penny short of the £150m asking price.

It adds that Osimhen would be interested in joining United, who have made signing a new striker a priority this summer - but club officials may be put off by the price Napoli are after.
