Osimhen has scored 30 goals and provided seven assists in 35 games for Galatasaray this season, and has his gaze fixed on a Premier League move in the summer, but Carrington will not be where his journey ends.

As per GiveMeSport, Manchester United have abandoned their pursuit of the 26-year-old striker due to his wage demands.

The record Premier League champions were willing to pay Osimhen’s £65m wages, but his salary demands meant the deal was off the cards.

With Manchester United out of the race for the 2023 CAF Player of the Year, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain have an open window to go all out for Osimhen.

For United, their attention turns to other options. Liam Delap is a name that has been increasingly linked to the club over the past few weeks. In transfer and in wages, the Englishman will cost far less than Osimhen.
