The Super Eagles of Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen’s future is uncertain, thus Manchester United hasn’t made any serious attempts to sign him.
According to reports, Osimhen has made the decision not to play for Napoli under coach Antonio Conte and plans to depart the team permanently this summer.
According to reports, the Italian Serie A champions want to retain their former talisman after his stellar loan stint at Galatasaray the previous season.
Due to the lack of an offer from other mainstream European suitors, the 26-year-old Nigerian striker has decided to return to the Turkish club on a permanent contract, which would earn him about 16 million per season.
Osimhen was reportedly of great interest to Manchester United, who are still trying to find a way to improve their dismal goal-scoring performance from the previous campaign.
However, because of Osimhen’s pay demands, Italian transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has made it known on his YouTube channel that Manchester United has not made any offers for him.
Several of you have asked me if Manchester United could try to sabotage this agreement, Romano remarked.
I don’t know why Manchester United would get involved in this, not just because of the 75 million euros, but also because of the pay.
The pay has always been the main difference between Premier League clubs from the previous summer and this one.
“Galatasaray is willing to pay 16 million euros net per season, while Osimhen is currently earning 12 million euros net at Napoli.”
The salary structure at Manchester United is very different from this. This explains why Manchester United hasn’t moved yet.
Osimhen has no direction yet, with just a few weeks till the start of the new season, after Napoli reportedly turned down Galatasaray’s offer for him earlier today.
He has yet to respond to Napoli’s letter asking him to start preseason training while he waits for his next move, as of the time this report was written.
