The Nigerian Aas Victor Osimhen stands up as a real backup plan as the step of Manchester United for Viktor Gyokeres falls through it.

But while Ruben Amorim Want to be reunited with the first Brighton And Coventry Striker, who scored 57 goals in 57 games among him in the Estadio Alvalade, United are also aware of OsimhenThe availability.

The Nigerian I have spent the last term on loan in Galatasaray by Napoliwhere he was not searched by Antonio Conte.

Osimhen, 26, took 32 goals in 37 performances for the Istanbul club, who want him to stay but also have seen Saudi clubs, including Al-Hilal, participating in a bidding war.

So far, however, no deal has been agreed, whereby Osimhen is apparently ready to consider all his options – including a possible move to the Premier League.

But the Galatasaray contract of the striker is supposed to be worth £ 300,000 a week after the tax, which would correspond to around £ 500,000 a week in the UK – a figure that United cannot pay for paying.

Nevertheless, a movement is not excluded in the midst of uncertainty about the situation of Gyokeres, although it does not matter who arrives – following The signing of £ 62 million from Brazilian Matheus Cunha van Wolves – There will have to be a lot of money.

Sold Trafford?

Speaking of players who go through the starting doors – and at least United should be able to cash in to cash in two of them who were the least likely to have a future under Amorim.

Number crunchers at the Swiss Cies Football Observatory have unveiled their updated list of the 100 most valuable players in global football.

Premclubs dominate the list, with 42 of the top 100 that earn their living in England.

But in a worrying sign of what has gone wrong in Old Trafford in the past decade, the only two united players in the list are undesirable Rasmus Hojlund And Alejandro Garnacho.

Dane Hojlund is 52nd, assessed as £ 68 million.

Given his struggles to settle since his £ 72 million relocation of AtalantaUnited Bean Tellers would enjoy the hand of everyone in the vicinity of a heel – although the club has to take £ 38 million to “break” on the left shaking costs on his five -year contract.

Garnacho is in 85th place and is appreciated at £ 54 million – an amount that would be “pure profit” in PSR conditions if a deal were to be concluded.

Cliffe Jump

In the red

United’s reimbursements amounted to £ 61 million a year in 2023-24, compared to the £ 47 million costs for complying with the Tottenham schedule.

Deloitte reported that United’s wage account in the last full season below Erik Ten Hag was £ 365 million, only below Manchester City and Liverpool, which represents 55 percent of their income of £ 662 million.
