Man United consider Osimhen swap offer involving Zirkzee
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United haven't given up on Napoli-owned striker Victor Osimhen and are 'studying' the best method to approach the Partenopei, including a player-plus-cash swap offer involving Joshua Zirkzee.
Dutch striker Zirkzee could be offered to Napoli in a player-plus-cash swap deal for Osimhen, according to Gazzetta.

Football Italia exclusively reported last week that Osimhen had rejected an offer from Al-Hilal.
Although representatives of the Saudi side are expected to make a new attempt today, the Nigerian striker is unlikely to change his mind.

Gazzetta confirms Osimhen is aware of Manchester United's interest, and the Red Devils are now working on a first offer for the Napoli-owned striker.
The Red Devils seem reluctant to match the striker's €75m clause, meaning that they'll consider a player-plus-cash swap deal.

Report – Manchester United Flop Tops The Inter Milan List Of Strikers To Sign This Summer Inter Milan have reportedly placed Man Utd flop Rasmus Hojlund at the top of their summer wishlist. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Dane has leapfrogged other names on Beppe Marotta's shopping list.

Indeed, it may be a perfect opportunity for the Denmark international to get his faltering career back on track. Ruben Amorim doesn't see Hojlund as a sustainable attacking option and would likely sanction his departure without flinching. As a result, chances of the ex-Sturm Graz star's return to Serie A are rapidly growing.
