Football365 - Mendes has repeatedly told Napoli a big offer from Man United was imminent, but the move for Antony has 'thwarted his plans'.

But seen through the eyes of Napoli, Osimhen’s stay excludes, in fact, the arrival of Ronaldo.’ De Laurentiis, dealing with the production of the second series of Vita da Carlo, has direct contacts with Mendes. Mendes is said to have told Napoli that United were ready for such a ‘drain’ on the club’s purse as they are desperate to move Ronaldo on and bring in some fresh talent.

Ronaldo’s former club Sporting have also been linked with the striker, though a concrete offer is not reportedly on the table from the Portuguese club.

Ronaldo Linked With Napoli As Man United Plot Victor Osimhen ... (Arsedevils)

Cristiano Ronaldo has been linked with a swap move to SSC Napoli, with Victor Osimhen moving the opposite way to Manchester United. Ronaldo's.

Moreover, he is also very good at linkup play and is adept at receiving the ball with his back to goal. His strong build helps him in holding up the ball and he can also create chances with his one-touch passing. Reports suggest that Ronaldo earns around £360,000 per week in wages and with him not being a sure-shot starter at United now, it is better for both parties to move on. He could be a real threat on the counter due to his superb pace and he can also dribble quite well with the ball at his feet. [Anthony Martial](https://arsedevils.com/erik-ten-hag-vetoed-against-selling-anthony-martial-this-summer/) has been excellent in the central role. The Nigerian has a great eye for spotting spaces on the pitch and is good at making intelligent runs behind the opposition defence. [playing in the Champions League](https://arsedevils.com/where-will-cristiano-ronaldo-go-analysing-five-potential-destinations/). The Frenchman has got able support from Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes and [Marcus Rashford](https://arsedevils.com/ten-hag-marcus-rashford-stay-manchester-united/). He creates pressure and could force the opposition defence to play risky long balls which can make them concede possession. Considering his importance, it is understandable why they want to maximise the profit on his sale if it takes place. The Naples club are looking for €120 million for Osimhen, and if Ronaldo joins Napoli on loan, they would like United to pay 80% of the Portuguese’s salary. However, a tepid performance followed by reports that Ronaldo departed from the stadium even before the final whistle left the fans even more disgruntled.

Osimhen is just a name to watch next summer instead. Even in a hypothetical scenario where Napoli let Osimhen leave this summer with an obligation to buy next year for £80 million, it would be a risk for United. It’s tempting, but not a deal the club are likely to commit to unless the buy clause is optional or packed with clauses relating to games played or goals scored. This would involved landing Osimhen on loan, with an obligation to buy for a fixed price in 2023.
