Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Wednesday, July 15.

Manchester United must now turn their attention to the summer transfer window having left their business until late in January.

The Red Devils brought in Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo in the final days of the winter window but are still expected to be active in the summer as they aim to restore their former glories.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Wednesday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Lille forward Victor Osimhen picks Napoli over Manchester United?

Napoli are reportedly making progress in their efforts to sign Lille forward Victor Osimhen.

Despite helping the Ligue 1 side earn another campaign in the Champions League, it was recently suggested that the Nigerian would be sold during the next transfer window.

The 21-year-old, who netted 18 goals during his debut campaign for Lille, has been linked with the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool.

However, according to L'Equipe, Osimhen is in advanced negotiations with Napoli ahead of a big-money switch to the Serie A giants.

The report claims that the player has requested that Lille do not entertain any more offers from other clubs, seemingly an indication that he has his heart set on a move to Italy.

While a fee has not been revealed, Napoli are said to be willing to pay a club-record fee on Osimhen, handing him a five-year contract in the process.



Inter Milan 'lining up player-plus-cash offer for Man Utd's Anthony Martial'

Inter Milan are reportedly lining up a player-plus-cash swap deal for Manchester United forward Anthony Martial.

The Italian giants are known to be long-term admirers of Martial and have renewed their interest as a result of his good form since the return from lockdown, most recently scoring one and creating another in Monday night's 2-2 draw with Southampton.

Inter are aware that United would be reluctant to sell the 24-year-old off the back of the most prolific season of his career, but Calciomercato claims that they hope to tempt the Red Devils to the negotiating table by including a player they want in return.

United are understood to have identified Milan Skriniar as a possible defensive reinforcement, with some reports suggesting they have already lodged a bid for the Slovakian.

Inter are increasingly willing to cash in on the centre-back, who has also been linked to Manchester City, and could include the 25-year-old in any deal to take Martial in the opposite direction.

The report claims that Inter value Martial at £63m and Skriniar at £58m, so they would make up the £5m difference in cash as part of the agreement.

Martial has had a direct hand in 29 goals from 41 appearances for United this season, scoring 21 and assisting eight.
