Manchester United have not given up on their pursuit of Victor Osimhen at Old Trafford. The club's board are exploring the possibility of bringing Victor Osimhen to the club at the end of the season, but it looks like it won't be easy. The main hurdles in reaching an agreement between the striker and the English club are his salary demands, as well as his ambitions to play in the UEFA Champions League.
United need to sell some of their current players before making a move for Osimhen, or any other player who is expected to have a high financial cost. The Nigerian striker was one of the most talked about summer transfers, as several big clubs were in pursuit of him. This is also because the striker made it clear his desire to leave Napoli. Chelsea were one of the teams interested in the Nigerian, but a move did not materialize. In the end, Osimhen ended up on loan at Turkish side Galatasaray, where he has excelled with his performances.
The player's desire to play in the Champions League is a big problem for United, who are going through one of the worst seasons in their history, and are in 15th place in the overall Premier League standings. The only way for United to play in the Champions League next season is to win the Europa League this season. The "Red Devils" have performed well in the competition so far, but still, lifting the cup remains a difficult objective, considering all of United's problems.
Regarding Osimhen's salary, the striker currently earns around £200 a week, and is not willing to accept a reduction. This is another major problem that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the other United executives need to solve before jumping in with an offer for the talented striker.
