The obstacle preventing MU from signing Osimhen.

Manchester United are at risk of losing their transfer target Victor Osimhen, as negotiations with the Nigerian striker have reached a serious deadlock.

Osimhen is unlikely to join Manchester United.

Man Utd had reached a "basic agreement" with Napoli regarding the signing of Osimhen. However, The Athletic revealed that the deal could not progress due to a significant difference between the two sides regarding the player's desired salary.

Specifically, Osimhen is reportedly demanding a salary of around £300,000 per week, a figure that exceeds the salary cap that Man Utd are willing to pay.

This is further complicated by the fact that Man Utd are facing significant financial pressure after a disappointing Premier League season and may be forced to sell up to six players to fund their summer transfers.

Manchester United's only remaining hope of qualifying for the Champions League is to win the Europa League, where they have reached the semi-finals against Athletic Bilbao.

With Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee's inconsistent form this season, strengthening the attack is the top priority in Manchester United's squad rebuilding campaign. However, instead of taking a risk with Osimhen, a deal that is both expensive and complicated, the club's management is shifting its focus to more viable options such as Matheus Cunha (Wolves) and Liam Delap (Ipswich Town), who have clear release clauses and easily negotiable salaries.

Despite remaining interested in Osimhen, Man Utd are reportedly waiting for clearer signals from the striker himself regarding his desire to leave and his willingness to adjust his financial demands; otherwise, the deal will remain stalled.
