Uncertainty Surrounds Victor Osimhen’s Transfer to Manchester United

According to reports, Manchester United of the English Premier League has not included Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen on their list of summer transfer targets because of the league’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), which place financial restrictions on players.
Implemented from the 2015–2016 season, the PSR attempts to limit clubs’ excessive expenditure by allowing them to lose no more than £105 million during a three-year financial cycle.
The impact of these rules was especially noticeable during the previous season when Everton was docked 10 points for exceeding expenditure caps; after an appeal, the penalty was lowered to six points.

In United’s case, Osimhen appears to be the best person to help with their continuous goal-scoring issues; nonetheless, Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha is still the team’s top target.
Cunha has a £62.5 million release clause, which Manchester United seems eager to exercise in order to increase their offensive options.

According to United News, Osimhen might be a good addition to Cunha, but United would need to spend almost £51 million to acquire the striker, who is presently on loan at Galatasaray. His high salary demands might make a summer transfer impractical.

In order to hire a player of Osimhen’s caliber, the team would have to manage their current payroll properly and perhaps cut it.

There are rumors that 26-year-old Osimhen has already agreed to sign a contract with Manchester United for this summer. The striker reportedly received a lucrative offer of €20 million a year from the Red Devils.

Serie A powerhouse Juventus and Manchester United have each made a sizable offer worth £17.1 million net annually, or roughly £330,000 per week after taxes, according to sources, including Turkish writer Ali Naci Küçük. Osimhen would earn almost £660,000 a week before taxes if this deal were to be confirmed, making him United’s highest-paid player.

United is unlikely to pursue Osimhen any further; therefore, this value and financial structure may soon be reexamined.

Transfer specialist David Ornstein said on NBC Sports about the team’s recruitment strategy, stressing that Matheus Cunha is their top target for the midfield position, even if they will need to negotiate personal terms, which are not assured.

Ornstein went on to say that Liam Delap of Ipswich Town is Manchester United’s top priority in terms of striker signings. Delap has a £30 million release clause linked to the club’s relegation.
To make his possible transfer even more competitive, keep in mind that Delap is also being courted by Chelsea and other Premier League teams. Prior to the start of the European Under-21 Championship, Delap is anticipated to make a choice about his future.

On loan from Napoli to Galatasaray, Osimhen has been having an incredible season, scoring 30 goals and dishing out seven assists in just 35 games across all competitions.
