If money was the end all for him, he'd be there by now no doubt about it
Oh right, you must know his agents and the like to know it isnt about money...
Chelsea, Arsenal, Manutd have all been interested in him, every journalist has said wages have been the stumbling block.
He agreed a wage with Saudi... he trying to renegotiate and they pulled out.
So, where do you see money is not a motivator for him?
Oh right you must know his agent to know it is all about money…
He did not agree anything with Saudi
His current wages have been a stumbling block for some PL clubs thats true.
I don't think anyone would mind paying him 200k p/w
He accepted Saudi last year. Napoli's president broke it off because they wanted a bigger transfer fee than initially agreed.Oh right you must know his agent to know it is all about money…

If a player is rejecting a move to Saudi for 3 years it probably indicates its not all about money
Turkey has likely some tax exemptions to making this even remotely possible, but the same net wage in England would be impossible for any sane clubI would be shocked if this was the case it would be quite wild, but lets see if it happens. I agree thats an obscene wage
No I dont but you do, so I will apologise for implying that Oshimen is looking for the biggest pay.
You are right... wages is not an issue.. the European clubs like Chelsea are not offering him a good sporting project but Gala and Saudi are.

Yes this was AFTER he had been rejecting them all summer (and the previous 2 summers) and it was the only option left on the tableHe accepted Saudi last year. Napoli's president broke it off because they wanted a bigger transfer fee than initially agreed.
Even if he did, yesterday's price is not today's price, bagged 37 goals ,won the double , clubs are interested, you have every right to offer last year's wages and I have every reason to turn it downHe accepted Saudi last year. Napoli's president broke it off because they wanted a bigger transfer fee than initially agreed.

Yeah that's a very valid pointRegardless when it was he accepted it.
You replied to my post about me saying it is money motivation and the other poster saying it isn't money.
So clearly you dont think oshimen is money motivated... why doesn't he take a pay cut to join a sporting team then?

Just watched this, seems to be a wonderful header of the ball and very dangerous from crosses. Other than that seems to have great anticipation, very strong and can finish with both feet.
We are very bad at crosses, not sure if he would suit us. Think we need a striker that can also create for himself not just in terms of movement, but also in terms of dribbling.
I curse Zlatans knee injury. I think he does the business for 3 years if he doesnt get that horrendous injury.Bit surprised Gala can pay 65M Euros transfer fee, I think that too much for Turkish league, may be I am outdated and now every body can buy 60M players.
I dont mind any of the Vic(k)tor's and hope we get it right with striker this time. It's been years we had a proper 20 goal a season no-9
I have my reservations on Atalanta players in general, not only but also because of Hojlund. They have had a functioning system for a long time until now (with Gasperini gone I reckon things will be hard), so any new player would fit in well there. Retegui looks like a player who is a bit slowish, can score goals but is not someo e suited to the physical style of the game. This is based on the bit I saw him play so I could be completely wrong. But he didn't convince me.Why? Because a lot of strikers flop outside? Or flopping strikers do well there?
I agree with you. Atalanta have a style of play that really gets the best out of the forwards. Retegui isn't scoring 25 anywhere else in ItalyI have my reservations on Atalanta players in general, not only but also because of Hojlund.

I think turning down more money to go to Saudi indicates he isn't solely motivated by money. This is also corroborated by his turning down the opportunity to join Arsenal and instead joining Wolfsburg previously as he prioritised playing time.
All footballers are motivated by money its why they leave their home countries to come and play in the PL where you usually get paid more than anywhere else, but the facts are here Osimhen has rejected a move to Saudi yet again, after doing so more than 2 times before (one where he signed a new deal with Napoli after winning the titile)
If he was solely motivated by money as you keep saying he would have signed with Al Hilal, he did not agree terms with them and try to renegotiate, as you said.
In any case, it's irrelevant to United because we would only go in for him if we can't sign Gyokeres, which seems increasingly likely we would. What is interesting in Whitwell's latest report actually says Osimhen is actually being revaluated and not ruled out due to wage demands like he was previously
Door closed. All roads lead to Gyökeres
He’s easily the best striker on the market over the last few years. There’s something that doesn’t meet the eye with him. Surely he’d have agreed a perfectly good wage with a big loyalty and signing on fee with a top PL club if he had any real interest in testing himself against the best.
Fabrizio reporting similar, looking like a done deal this weekend.
He’s the best aerially, I know we don’t cross but I assume we will see a lot more service into the box from the two new lads and a hopefully much improved Dorgu but obviously it’s all guesswork. Of course you could be right. Seria A is definitely an easier league whatever way you look at it.Is he though?
He seems like one of these Italian hype jobs.
Maybe he would be great, but he ended up in Turkey, and no it seems nobody big in Europe wants him. I know wages seem to be a sticking point in this deal, but he has to realise nobody will pay it, so where does he end up
No problem about that. He is too expensive and that is it. But this PR shit how "he is not right type of striker for us" is just ridiculous.Although Ogden knows feck all, hes' right, we won't be pursuing him. Just look at the wage numbers alone, we're trying to avoid wages like those.
To the Gyokeres thread
I remember watching him vs Liverpool in the champions league and he was very good! I don't think his quality is in questionHe’s easily the best striker on the market over the last few years. There’s something that doesn’t meet the eye with him.

Did you not watch him in the champions league when he was playing with Napoli?Is he though?

If you had seen him...you would know it wasn't down to his qualityNo, but then again his trajectory has been Napoli > Gala > Al Hilal
