“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.
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
