I can't help but wonder why no other European club decided to spend money for Osimhen: is it because the way it ended with Napoli? Is it because he was asking for too much money? Is it a problem with his agents? He's a great striker, he has the same age of Gyökeres and yet it looks like European football forgot about him, it's kind of weird, there must be some problem somewhere, I just wonder what it is.

The reason is simple, Osimhen's wage. His transfer fees ain't the problem, but his wage is too big. His weekly wage was 300k per-week, and adding him to the big club squad can burdening that club. It makes that club may be violating the PSR rules.

Things worsen when he demands higher wage than what he received from Napoli, but Galatasaray is the only club that can afford him 340k per week. So, that's why other big clubs moved away from him.

If the problem was only the wage than it would mean that Osimhen cares more about the money rather than glory (and there is nothing wrong with that) but it that case he could have simply accepted the offers he received from Saudi Arabia, way more money than Turkey. I don't know, maybe at the end he really likes Galatasaray, Istanbul is a pretty cool city, it makes sense but I keep wondering if there is something else. United and Arsenal absolutely need a striker, Chelsea too, and for sure they could offer a lot of money to the club and the player as well.

I think that apart from the high wage demands of Victor Osimehn, He also really wants to play where he is loved and appreciated by the team and the fans. Certainly Osimehn is a really good player and with his current form he should be the most sort after player in his position by so many big clubs in Europe, but it seems that most of this big clubs aren’t showing too much interest in him. I think Osimehn have found love in Galaterssary, their fans loved him and he had a great season on loan with them last season and they are willing to meet his wage demands too, and are also going to be playing champions league football. Osimehn wants to remain in Europe and Galaterssary are willing to pay his wage and still meet his European desire of playing in the Champions League. So, why should he be chasing Chelsea or Arsenal even when this club’s are reluctant to sign him, it’s preferable for him to stick with Galaterssary where they really wants him.
