Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has informed potential suitors that he wants to be placed on £500,000 weekly wages, Soccernet.ng reports.

Osimhen’s transfer saga has continued to rage on, with the Nigeria striker still in Napoli’s books despite numerous links with some of the top clubs in Europe.

The Nigerian has drawn interest from clubs like Real Madrid, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Al Hilal, but it has been all talks.

This summer, the teams interested in Osimhen appear to have been streamlined to just three, with PSG, Arsenal, and Chelsea in the mix.

Still, the issue has dragged on throughout the summer. Three weeks ago, strong reports emerged that the Nigerian striker had agreed on personal terms with PSG, but the French champions failed to cut a deal with Napoli, who are asking for over £120 million.

Those talks have since cooled off, and it now appears like Arsenal and Chelsea are in the driving seat. Still, none of them have made headway, and it could be due to Osimhen’s massive wage demands.

According to a report from SunSport on Saturday, Osimhen is asking for £500,000 per week, which Arsenal and Chelsea consider astronomical.

£500,000 per week for Osimhen would see him displace Kevin De Bruyne, who is the highest-paid Premier League player with a £400,000-weekly pay.

If the deal goes through, it would also make Osimhen the highest paid player in the history of the English Premier League. With just five days until the end of the transfer market, Osimhen and his camp have to find a solution so he can start playing top level football again.
