Chelsea brought back Joao Pedro and Liam Delap with a total amount of £ 80 million, while Arsenal signed a contract with Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon for £ 64 million.
MU is competing with Newcastle to get the signature of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. Over the past few years, all three clubs are said to be related to Victor Osimhen after the goals he scored at Napoli, but instead, the Nigerian player returned to Galatasaray.

Victor Osimhen signed a long -term contract with Galatasaray in the summer of 2025. |
The 26 -year -old was borrowed by Napoli to Galatasaray last season, where he scored 37 goals in 41 matches, but surprised to see one of the best strikers in Europe signed a long -term contract with a club outside the top 5 leading European tournaments.
Gary Lineker gave an explanation of why MU, Chelsea and Arsenal did not try to sign a contract with striker Victor Osimhen this summer. He said: “I watched Osimhen play a few times, he was really impressed. He excelled in Napoli shirt, he was extraordinarily extraordinary.
I heard that some clubs pursued him a little worried because sometimes he suddenly disappeared a few days. Therefore, there is obviously a small question mark about his personality. I don't know if the information is right or not, but it seems strange that he has never played in one of the largest teams in Europe while his talent is amazing. ”
Osimhen almost joined Chelsea last summer, the former Blues player, John Obi Mikel tried to bring his compatriot to Stamford Bridge but failed. Meanwhile, MU, Rio Ferdinand repeatedly urged the Red Devils to sign a contract with the striker before he signed a long -term contract with Galatasaray.
