Napoli Plot Bold Swap: Marcus Rashford For Victor Osimhen In January Shake-Up

There are reports that Napoli has been seeking to sign an incredible player in exchange with Manchester United Marcus Rashford for Victor Osimhen.

The Italian club seems very ready and willing to take advantage of the situation of Rashford’s future at Old Trafford under a new manager in Ruben Amorim.

Rashford has been out of favour with Amorim’s team. Although the forward has been included on the bench during a recent match against Newcastle, he has been unavailable for the starting lineup since December 1 and is not considered as part of the United’s manager’s plans.

Marcus Rashford has been showered with attractive come-and-play-terms from Saudi Arabian clubs but he is said to be keen on continuing his stay in Europe to increase his chances of being summoned to play for the Three Lions of England National team.

Which Team Will Benefit More From The Marcus Rashford – Victor Osimhen Swap Deal?

From what The Sun reported yesterday, Napoli is said to be closely observing Rashford’s situation and is willing to enhance the deal with Victor Osimhen.

But the Nigerian striker has been Chelsea’s choice for ages and was expected to join the West London club on a permanent deal last season. Nevertheless, when Napoli failed to find any club willing to meet the required value for him, Osimhen was let to join Galatasaray on loan.

There are clauses, of course, including a £62 million release clause, which has again put a move to Old Trafford back on the table.

In essence, a swap deal involving Rashford can only afford both clubs the perfect fix.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Napoli manager Antonio Conte, who currently has his team on the same number of points as the leader in Serie A, is a big fan of Rashford and is sure that the young English striker will fit well into his tactics.

If Rashford transfers to join Napoli, he will have the company of United’s former teammate Scott McTominay. The Scottish midfielder left Old Trafford for Napoli in the summer and has not looked back since, recovering his career under Conte.

Given the current situation in both clubs, there are rumours of possible swaps involving them, which would be one of the most interesting of the January transfer business.
