Liverpool shocked as Manchester United U-turn on signing stunning £60m striker

The Merseyside giants have made several sensational moves in the transfer window already, but still have a few priorities to sort out. Liverpool are in the market for a striker, but Manchester United are now keen to beat their rivals to the signature of a top forward.

Liverpool’s pursuit of Florian Wirtz has grabbed major headlines, but the club still have a few priorities that they are yet to sort out in the ongoing transfer window.

The Reds still need a striker, and they would still prefer to sign Alexander Isak despite Newcastle United’s insistence that the Swede is not for sale ahead of next season.

However, Manchester United are now pushing to beat Liverpool to the signature of a world-class striker after doing a U-turn on their transfer decision this summer.

Manchester United do a transfer U-turn to leave Liverpool shocked in pursuit of a striker

Victor Osimhen is almost certain to leave Napoli this summer after a brilliant loan spell at Galatasaray last season.

Liverpool have been keeping tabs on the forward, and have held talks with his representatives over a potential transfer deal this summer.

He has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia as well, but according to The Athletic, Manchester United are set to reevaluate the possibility of signing him.

Manchester United were wary of his wage demands, but after missing out on Chelsea-bound Liam Delap, the club are set to reconsider their decision on Osimhen.

Ruben Amorim wants a new striker to lead the line next season, and the club are set to give serious consideration to signing the Napoli forward this summer.

Napoli are ready to sell, but want somewhere around £60m before agreeing to sanction his departure in the ongoing transfer window.
