Arsenal's Pursuit of Osimhen Complicated by Finances
Arsenal is reportedly unlikely to sign Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray for two main reasons. First, Galatasaray is inclined to keep the Super Eagles forward, who has been linked to a move to the Premier League champions.
Second, financial issues pose a significant challenge; Osimhen's high wages and bonuses, along with his agent's commission, could make the deal too expensive for Arsenal. The English club has been in negotiations with Galatasaray regarding players Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri, during which Osimhen's name surfaced as a potential target to enhance Arsenal's attacking options.
However, given the financial implications and Galatasaray's desire to retain Osimhen, Arsenal may consider pursuing Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez as an alternative option.
