“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.
Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on his son’s future and football career after watching his training sessions.
He spoke about his 16-year-old son “He’s a good kid. Honest, a good kid. The others are tougher. The ones I have at home, the younger ones. This one is no problem. The others…”
“When I was his age, he was a bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I believe he will be bigger than me in size. The hunger is the most challenging aspect.”
Footballers João Pedro and Moisés Caicedo have shared their thoughts on the recent transfer of former Brighton player Danny Welbeck.
It can be noted that Welbeck recently completed a move to Stamford Bridge. Pedro shared “This will mark the third occasion we have played together, and I believe, just as he did for me previously, he will extend his support to everyone in the squad. Danny embodies that spirit; he is incredibly helpful and genuinely wishes the best for everyone around him and for the team.
“It is well-known that he is an exceptional player. I am eager to play alongside him once more, and I believe he will be a tremendous asset to our group.”
Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his contract and how things have been since discussions began.
He said “It’s gone very well, meeting the new coach and the new players and training very hard. Mourinho wants me to be as I’ve always been: happy, cheerful, and that I play my football.”
“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
