Victor Osimhen Agrees to Join Manchester United this Summer
Victor Osimhen has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Manchester United ahead of a potential summer transfer. This is according to Turkish journalist Serdar Çelikler.
As at now, Osimhen’s agreement with United is said to be in place. However, the club still needs to negotiate a deal with Napoli to secure his signature. The Premier League side is on the lookout for a new top striker this summer. This is particularly after Rasmus Hojlund’s underwhelming performance this season.
Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has been in exceptional form. He scored 29 goals, providing 6 assists in 34 appearances this season. His release clause stands at €75 million (£63 million), but reports suggest that Napoli may be open to offering United a discount to facilitate the deal.
While personal terms are sorted, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United and Napoli can agree on a final transfer price.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
