BREAKING NEWS: Victor Osimhen to Manchester United CONFIRMED — Romano Reveals Stunning Loan-Exchange Deal Involving Rasmus Højlund

In one of the most sensational transfer twists of the summer, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester United have successfully sealed the signing of Victor Osimhen from Napoli in a deal that has stunned fans across Europe. According to Romano, the Nigerian striker had “already agreed to join Manchester United weeks ago,” and after weeks of complex negotiations, the two clubs have finally come to terms.

🔴 Victor Osimhen joins Manchester United on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee, with Rasmus Højlund heading to Napoli on a season-long loan as part of the agreement. While financial terms remain under wraps, sources close to the deal suggest United pushed hard to structure the transfer to meet Financial Fair Play constraints, making Højlund’s temporary exit a key part of the breakthrough.

“It was a very difficult deal, but Manchester United have finally pulled it off,” Romano stated. “Osimhen will join the club immediately, while Højlund will spend the upcoming season in Serie A with Napoli — a move that satisfies all parties involved.”

Osimhen, who scored 26 goals in Serie A during Napoli’s title-winning campaign last year, has been a long-time target for top Premier League clubs. His explosive pace, elite finishing, and physical presence make him a perfect fit for Erik ten Hag’s (now Ruben Amorim’s) attacking philosophy. With United desperate for a proven No. 9 to lead the line, the arrival of Osimhen is seen as a game-changing signing.

On the other hand, Højlund, who joined United just a year ago, will have the opportunity to reignite his development in Italy, with Napoli providing him a more stable platform after an inconsistent debut Premier League season.

The move is expected to be officially announced by both clubs in the next 24–48 hours, pending final paperwork and a medical. Osimhen is reportedly eager to link up with his new teammates ahead of United’s pre-season tour.
