Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has admitted he is not sure what the future holds for him amid ongoing speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United.

The Nigerian international is currently on loan at Galatasaray after joining the Turkish club for the remainder of the season back in September, following Napoli boss Antonio Conte's decision to leave him out of his plans.

The 26-year-old has enjoyed a successful campaign with Galatasaray thus far, scoring 20 goals and registering five assists in 26 appearances across all competitions. Fourteen of his 20 goals have been scored in the league.

Under contract in Naples until June 2027, the expectation is that Napoli will push to sell him permanently this summer, with director Giovanni Manna admitting the club wants to a "find a solution as quickly as possible" regarding his long-term future.

Speaking earlier this week, Manna said: "Victor is always going to be a hotly-debated topic and not just on the transfer market.

"He is an appetising player for clubs, he has a clause and everyone knows this, we are working to find a solution as quickly as possible, so that we can avoid what happened last year."

Osimhen has since been asked if he will return to Galatasaray beyond the end of his loan spell, admitting: "I don't know, to be honest. A few months ago, nobody ever thought I would come to Galatasaray, despite how big of a club they are.

"I live in the moment. For what's going to happen in the summer, I don't know, but I want everyone to understand something: I really love this club so much.

"I love the fans, I love everyone associated with this club, from the president down to the coaching staff."

Ahead of the transfer window closing at the start of this month, former United defender Rio Ferdinand pleaded with the club to swoop for Osimhen amid their need for fresh blood up front.

"I'd be going to get Osimhen now," said Ferdinand. "If we could do it from a financial standpoint, get him on loan, I'd go and get Osimhen now.

"[He] guarantees you somebody who can get on the end of things, scores goals, he's experienced, done it at the top level."
