Premier League giants Manchester United have reopened talks with Victor Osimhen over a potential transfer in the summer transfer window.
This is according to a report from Foot Mercato (via Yahoo Sport).
United are hoping to sign a striker before the new season begins.
Osimhen is aiming to leave the Serie A champions this summer and is entertaining interest from several clubs, including the Red Devils.
The 26-year-old Nigerian international is demanding a salary of €12m from his potential new club.
He spent last season on loan with Galatasaray, who are also hoping to keep him in Turkey.
Napoli have set an asking price of €75m for the former Lille striker.

Manchester United were previously in talks over a transfer for Osimhen in May, and the terms of a potential transfer remain the same.
The Old Trafford club are also considering other targets to bolster their attacking options this summer, including Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.
They have already secured the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Ruben Amorim would hope to have a positve outcome in his full season in charge at United after a disappointing campaign last term.
The Manchester club ended the Premier League season in a disappointing 15th place, losing 18 and winning 11 of their 38 matches.
Despite their poor league form, United reached the Europa League final but lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur, which cost them automatic Champions League qualification.
On his part, Osimhen helped Galatasaray win both the Turkish league and Cup, scoring 37 goals, provided six assists in 41 games across all competitions.

A lot of clubs are in financial difficulties. People keep saying united or arsenal for osimhen. But in the pl most of the former players keep saying to sign isak for liverpool and arsenal because he has been proving to score in the premier league and MIGHT guarantee instant success. But clubs dont want to pay the price tag of at least 100m. A lot of teams are trying to cut corners by trying to buy players who are not strikers and turn them into one like havertz. Or teams dont want to get burned by buying players on a high and they turned out to be a bust. Happened with zirkzee, houjlind and darwin nunez. So top clubs wait for other clubs to gamble, see how they perform and poach them. Thats why brighton are making profit because lower teams tend to be the one to buy players outside the top 4 leagues, bottom half of the league players or players in other countries. Liverpool can afford wirtz because they dont spend a lot. In the 24-25 season they just got cheisa for cheap, so they can splurge for wirtz. Plus the team did well with the same players who were under jurgen klopp.
There is a shortage of strikers honestly or quality strikers. People been saying arsenal wanted bejamin sesko who plays for rb leipzig or now viktor gyokeres. Victor gyokeres played the championship and moved to sporting cp in portugal where he was scoring goals under ruben amorin. Since amorin left for united people keep speculating that he might poach him for united. But then arsenal entered the picture and might want him too. They wanted benjamin sesko, but he said he didnt want to come because hes not gonna start. Viktor gyokeres is in his prime, but he doesnt have top 4 or 5 league experience. Benjmani sesko is younger which you can have for a long time and get fitted with the league and has top 4 league experience. But the arab league now want sesko, if he goes to saudi then a lot of clubs are really going to be in trouble looking for strikers.
De laurentis the business man. He doesnt budge. You either meet his demands or dont come at all. Happened with koulibaly. Chelsea been wanted him and napoli kept rejecting it because they didnt meet the demands. But they ended up getting him with a year left on his contract. Koulibably couldnt cut it in the premier league and went to saudi arabia. What napoli gonna do is keep loaning osimhen out.
Loaning osimhen and while napoli have champions league next season and might win the league title all without osimhen. It solidifies that he is not important to the team and still can achieve success without him. Like graham potter to brighton. Since he left, brighton have still been doing well with the last 2 managers de zerbi got them to europa league and the latest german manager. Brighton have a model they work with that allows them to succeed. Same with inter milan when they didnt have enough money and said they needed to sell players when conte wants money to spend. He left and inter got inzangi and now inter made it to 2 champions league finals since his arrival.
Storys..yuh go explain taya lmaaoo
