Manchester United and Liverpool are at logger head to sign Super Eagles prolific striker, Victor Osimhen.
Confirm News has it that the Napoli player Victor Osimhen, is willing to accept a weekly wage of under £200,000 at Manchester United, contrary to reports suggesting he wants £300,000 per week.
This comes amid speculation that the club owners are reluctant to meet the Nigerian striker’s supposed wage demands.
Romano told Givemesport that reports of Osimhen demanding around £300,000 per week are “wide of the mark” and that the Napoli striker is prepared to accept a more modest salary.
“He just wants his current salary (around €12m net, £10.2m per season) to be respected, nothing different. Same as one year ago,” Romano explained.
The reduced wage expectations could pave the way for United to make a move for the 26-year-old, especially considering Mason Mount earns £250,000 per week at Old Trafford.
Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli following a successful loan spell at Galatasaray, where he scored 37 goals and provided eight assists in 41 games across all competitions.
The striker recently rejected a massive £30m-a-year offer from Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal, preferring to continue his career in European football.
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has suggested that Osimhen’s rejection of the Saudi offer indicates he is waiting for a call from Old Trafford.
It would be recalled that news emanated days ago that Liverpool also want the prolific striker . But negotiation is still going on.
