The slam dunk is on, however United are dribbling
It looks as if a match made in heaven. And but, except for some imprecise stories of being stored knowledgeable, United haven’t made a severe transfer for the Nigerian bomber, at the least, not one identified by the mainstream media.
Likewise, Chelsea, Liverpool and Juventus have flirted with the concept of signing Osi however have made no substantial strikes, whereas Arsenal, themselves determined for a quantity 9, don’t appear to be within the race in any respect.
It’s always speculated that Osimhen’s outrageous wage calls for are the issue, however transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has known as {that a} fable and said that the massive man is just asking for slightly below £200,000 per week.
The determine would put him on a stage with Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire on United’s wage scale, approach behind the likes of Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount.

The outlet stories that “Osi has chosen the Gal”.
“Osimhen needs to remain in Istanbul and has communicated his determination to Galatasaray, who are actually on the lookout for an settlement with [Aurelio de Laurentiis]. However Napoli is not going to low cost the clause: they need €75 million,” CDS claims.
“Osi intends to proceed enjoying for Galatasaray.”
With Gala already having floated a proposal within the area of €60 million and having pledged to fulfill Osimhen’s wage calls for, it appears now to be a only a matter of days earlier than a deal is struck.
United, in the meantime, are nowhere to be seen.
