Arsenal are interested in Victor Osimhen again

French outlet Foot Mercato reports that preliminary discussions have already been held regarding the striker. That said, the deal faces a significant hurdle on the financial front. While Arsenal are keen to push ahead, they are unwilling to match the salary Osimhen is currently pocketing in Turkey—believed to be upwards of €20 million per year.

In the end, the ball may rest firmly in the player's court. He faces a straightforward choice: accept a reduction in wages to secure a move back to one of Europe's elite leagues, or remain the undisputed main man at Galatasaray.
