Antonio Conte interested in Marcus Rashford-Victor Osimhen swap deal | OneFootball

Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford is reportedly set to be part of a sensational swap deal involving SSC Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.

Since Rashford was left out of the matchday squad to face Manchester City last month, there has been much speculation over the Englishman’s future at Old Trafford.

He has reportedly rejected three offers from Saudi Arabia and MLS side Seattle Sounders have had internal discussions over making a move for the player.

Rashford has also drawn interest from European sides such as FC Barcelona and Arsenal.

It has already been relayed by The Peoples Person that Napoli may also have an interest in the forward as they aim to push for the Serie A title in the second half of the season under Antonio Conte.

The Sun have taken this story further though and report that United may use Napoli’s interest in the player to land one of their own long-term targets, Victor Osimhen.

The Englishman “is at the centre of a stunning swap deal involving Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.”

“A move to another European club would give Rashford a platform to do that with Napoli’s former Tottenham boss Antonio Conte looking at a deal for the disillusioned star.”

Moreover, there might be some appeal for the forward as they are challenging for the league title, Champions League football next year and his former teammate Scott McTominay is already prospering at the club.

“Under-fire United manager Ruben Amorim is desperate to strengthen this month and Conte’s interest in Rashford, 27, has opened the door to signing Osimhen.”

The Nigerian is currently on loan at Galatasaray and has scored 12 goals in 15 matches in all competitions this season.

United have also been linked with bringing in striking talent such as Viktor Gyokeres, who is reportedly pushing for a move to leave Sporting Lisbon this January.
