Man United: Osimhen to accept £200k weekly, not £300k – Fabrizio

Victor Osimhen is willing to accept a weekly income of slightly £200,000 at Manchester United, contrary to claims that he wants £300,000 per week, according to transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano.

The clarification comes amid reports that INEOS is hesitant to satisfy the Nigerian striker’s supposed pay demands as they want to reduce United’s hefty wage cost.

According to Romano, suggestions that Osimhen is wanting roughly £300,000 per week are “wide of the mark” and that the Napoli attacker is willing to accept a lower pay.

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’s future remains uncertain as he prepares 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 Nigeria international has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, with reports suggesting Napoli prefer to see him join Liverpool in a potential swap deal involving Darwin Núñez.
