“Man United Can’t Sign Osimhen Because His Salary Is Too High” – Romano
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has shared fresh insight into why Manchester United are unlikely to make a move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, despite growing speculation around his future.
Osimhen, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, is close to making his stay permanent. While top clubs across Europe have been linked with the Super Eagles star, Romano says financial factors are keeping United out of the race.
According to him, the key issue is not just Osimhen’s €75 million release clause, but his salary demands. The striker currently earns €12 million net per year at Napoli, and Galatasaray are reportedly ready to push that up to €16 million annually — a figure far beyond what United are willing to offer under their current wage structure.
“Many are asking if Manchester United could hijack the deal,” Romano said on his YouTube channel. “But I’m not hearing anything serious about that because the salary is the main obstacle. It’s not just about the transfer fee.”
If the deal goes through as expected, Osimhen will become one of the highest-paid players in European football, a move that would mark a major win for Galatasaray and a significant miss for Premier League sides unable to match the financial package.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
