By Gistlife Sports Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand has sent the transfer rumor mill into overdrive, guaranteeing that Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen would drop everything to join the Red Devils “100%”—if the club’s hierarchy is brave enough to make the call. Despite Osimhen recently committing his future to Galatasaray in a permanent £65m deal, Ferdinand insists the striker’s head would turn instantly for a chance to play at Old Trafford. Speaking on his YouTube channel Rio Ferdinand Presents, the United legend didn’t mince words when discussing the striker situation with Ghanaian icon Asamoah Gyan. When Gyan expressed hope that United would move for the prolific forward, Ferdinand responded with absolute certainty: “Osimhen will come to United. If United offer to take Osimhen, he would go, 100%.” Gyan agreed, noting that Osimhen plays “with his heart” and is exactly the kind of “goal-shy” fix the current squad needs, despite the presence of Bryan Mbeumo on the flank. While Rio is confident about the player’s desire, the financials are a different beast. Osimhen has been in lethal form in Turkey, scoring 49 goals in 57 games. Well aware of his value, Galatasaray have slapped a monstrous €140m (£121m) price tag on him. For a United side that just spent £74m on Benjamin Sesko in the summer, triggering such a massive release clause would be a historic gamble. With caretaker manager Michael Carrick currently at the helm, reports suggest the focus is on utilizing the current squad. However, with Director of Football Jason Wilcox reportedly scouting for a left-winger, fans are wondering if the budget can stretch to bring Osimhen to the Theatre of Dreams. Rio has spoken. The player is reportedly ready.
