Despite reports suggesting a £300,000 weekly wage demand, Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is open to earning less than £200,000 per week to join Manchester United, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Romano told GiveMeSport that Osimhen simply wants his current Napoli salary matched—about €12 million net per season. The new revelation could smooth United’s path to securing the striker, who has already turned down a blockbuster Saudi offer to stay in Europe.
- Osimhen is willing to earn less than £200,000 per week at Manchester United.
- Reports of £300,000/week demands are false, says Fabrizio Romano.
- The striker turned down a £30m/year deal from Saudi club Al-Hilal.
- He recently finished a loan spell at Galatasaray with 37 goals and 8 assists.
- Rio Ferdinand believes Osimhen may be holding out for a United approach.
Below the Buzz captures the quiet strategy behind Osimhen’s next move. He’s not shouting for headlines, he’s playing the long game. In an era where many chase the biggest cheque, Osimhen’s restraint hints at a different kind of ambition—one that values the badge and the battle over just the bank.
Would you hold out for the opportunity that fits you best, even if it means taking less in the short term?
