“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.
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
