Fabrizio Romano Reveals Man Utd’s Major Financial Hurdle in Pursuit of €12M-per-Year PSG Target | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with Osimhen during the last two transfer windows, and with the summer window still months away, rumors are already intensifying.

After regaining the form that made him a standout in the 2022-23 season, now with Galatasaray, Osimhen is poised to attract even more attention from top European clubs when the transfer window reopens.

So far this season, he has netted 20 goals and provided five assists in 26 matches across all competitions for the Turkish giants.

GiveMeSport has confirmed that Osimhen is a sought-after target at Old Trafford and can be signed for €75 million through his release clause this summer.

On GIVEMESPORT’s Market Madness, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said that while Manchester United are eyeing Osimhen, there are other players on their shortlist.

He added that the cost of signing the Nigerian forward will be a key factor in deciding whether the Red Devils pursue him this summer.

“Osimhen wants the same contract that he has at Napoli in terms of salary, so he will not go below the expectations, and it’s something around €12 million net per season (£413,000-per-week),” Romano said.

“So the salary is also a big topic, and we know it’s financially not an easy moment for Manchester United. So, if Manchester United will have the budget available then for sure, Osimhen is a player on their list – but at the moment, they are still not sure of what they can do.”

Recently, journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu reported that Manchester United and PSG have officially expressed interest in signing Osimhen this summer. Both clubs have made verbal offers regarding his contract and salary, with plans to meet his release clause. Amorim is also eager to bring him in.
