and are both planning to move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in the summer, with bids of around £107m likely, according to reports in Italy.
The Nigerian forward has been in fabulous form this season and continued his impressive run on Sunday by scoring twice in a 3-0 Serie A win at Spezia.
Napoli are enjoying a stunning season, currently 13 points clear of Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A table and Osimhen has been a big part of that success, with 16 goals in 17 league appearances.
The striker has been a regular on the scoresheet since moving from Lille in 2020 and is attracting attention from bigger clubs across Europe.
Italian publication report that Napoli are expecting bids of €120m (£107m) from Manchester United and Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
There may well be interest in Osimhen from elsewhere as well, with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid also touted in the report as potential suitors.
If any Premier League clubs do fork out £107m for the striker then it would break the British transfer record which Chelsea just set by spending £105m on midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica.
Speaking about his star striker recently, Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti said: ‘He really has got a cannon for a foot. He has physical strength, accepts the challenge, tracks back to help, is good in the air. He is the complete package.’
He also said of the forward: ‘Osimhen is such a great striker. I am stunned by the unexpressed potential he has and excited to see what he’ll do in future.’
