Napoli reduce Osimhen asking price to £85m as Man Utd move for Morata

Napoli have lowered the asking price for Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen to £85 million instead of the initial £100 million release clause following a lack of offers, according to Calcio Mercato.

Other reports in Italy state that Napoli would agree to a player-swap deal with Manchester United, which will see Mason Greenwood join the former Serie A champions, with Osimhen heading in the opposite direction.

A Saudi Arabian-funded group has emerged as the frontrunner to buy Monaco but the potential takeover could hinge on whether the French side would be judged as a sister club of Newcastle United.

Manchester United hope to have a new deal secured with manager Erik ten Hag before their summer tour of the USA begins in the middle of July, by when Ruud van Nistelrooy could be a part of his backroom staff.
