Amid Arsenal’s quest for a new striker, transfer Aficionado Fabrizio Romano has shed light on potential obstacles hindering the acquisition of Victor Osimhen.

Mikel Arteta’s side has been consistently linked with the Nigerian forward, but Romano hinted at financial concerns posing significant barriers to the transfer.

Romano addressed fan queries regarding reports suggesting Arsenal’s waning interest in Osimhen due to financial constraints and apprehensions surrounding negotiations with Napoli. The prolific striker has garnered admiration from various clubs, but the staggering financial demands surrounding his potential transfer have instilled caution among potential suitors.

The complexities of Osimhen’s contractual arrangements, including his salary, commission package, and a hefty release clause, have prompted Arsenal to explore alternative striker options. Among those under consideration is Viktor Gyokeres, who remains on the Gunners’ shortlist as they navigate the transfer market with prudence.

Arsenal faces competition from London rivals Chelsea and French champions Paris Saint-Germain, who are also reportedly eyeing Osimhen as a potential acquisition.

As the transfer saga unfolds, Arsenal finds itself at a crossroad, weighing the financial implications against their ambitions of bolstering their attacking prowess.
