Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in a summer move for Victor Osimhen, according to Le10sport, as transcribed by Sports Mole.
The 21-year-old has impressed for Lille this season, scoring 18 goals in all competitions.
United have emerged as a rival for Osimhen’s signature, with Liverpool and Real Madrid also believed to be keen on a move.

I think the Nigerian international could be a great addition for the Reds, potentially coming in as a replacement for Divock Origi. Strong in the air – he has won an average of 4.4 aerial duels in the league this season – and blessed with good pace, he could add more depth and quality behind Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
At 21, he could also be one for the future, with long-term planning key under Jurgen Klopp.
Origi has been tipped to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, having struggled to make an impact in 2019/20. While he will rightly forever be a hero in the eyes of many following his huge goals against Everton, Barcelona and Tottenham last season, his all-round game is too often lacking.
His decision-making can let him down and five goals in 36 appearances this season is a disappointing return.
