Transfer expert Andrea D’Amico has revealed a potential destination for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer.

Italian agent Andrea D’Amico proposed a swap deal between Manchester United and Napoli, which could see Victor Osimhen moving to United and Rasmus Højlund to Napoli.

The idea comes as part of United's new owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe's, plans to improve the team's performance by signing top players like Osimhen.

The Red Devils are expected to let go of several high-earners with INEOS keen to trim the squad ahead of next season.

Osimhen to replace Hojlund at Manchester United?

Recent reports have suggested that Rasmus Hojlund, who scored 16 goals in all competitions for the Red Devils in his first season could be used in a swap deal for Osimhen.

Despite the striker's clear attributes, there is no doubt that Osimhen will be an upgrade.

Speaking to TEAMtalk, D’Amico said “The future of Osimhen? It’s difficult to say now, we’re in May and it’s not a small deal so we’ll have to wait,” he said.

“Osimhen-Hojlund exchange with United? It’s feasible, Manchester United respects the characteristics where Osimhen could play, in short, it’s a plausible scenario.”

Osimhen has scored 17 goals in all competitions for Napoli this season, and is expected to depart the club this summer.
