Transfer News: Done Deals, Super Eagles Star, Osimhen to Man United, Real Madrid bid for Reece James
Man Utd Wants Super Eagles Star
Manchester United are interested in signing Super Eagles star, Victor Osimhen, according to SkySports. They sounded out Osimhen at Lille, before he joined Napoli, but are also keen on Tottenham striker Harry Kane, who has just 16 months to run on his current contract.
The biggest challenge for both clubs is dealing with Napoli, who are notoriously difficult negotiators and are thought to be asking for a fee in the region of €100million (£88m) to €150m (£132m). Napoli’s model relies on selling at least one star every season.

James recently extended his stay at Chelsea till 2028, however, the report claims that Real Madrid still want him to replace Dani Carvajal, and are ready to pay an astronomical fee for the English defender.
Man Utd want to put Rashford among highest earners | Club and player ‘calm’
Manchester United’s contract offer to Marcus Rashford will reflect his importance by putting him in their highest bracket of earners, with the club and player calm over the situation, reports Sky Sports senior reporter Melissa Reddy. Discussions over a new deal are still in the early phase, with the forward’s current terms due to expire at the end of next season. There has been “transparency, respect, and courtesy” on all sides of the process.
United activated a one-year extension in Rashford’s contract in December and believe the financial package they eventually propose – but more importantly the club’s direction of travel under Erik ten Hag – will convince him to stay.
