Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, has claimed English clubs cannot afford Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen is currently on a one-year loan deal at Galatasaray from Napoli.
But the Super Eagles striker is expected to leave the Serie A club on a permanent basis this summer.
Premier League teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are rumoured to be monitoring Osimhen.
But Romano has claimed the player's wage demands could be a huge barrier to any deal being struck.
"He wants the same salary he's earning at Napoli - €12m net, plus commissions and his €75m release clause," Romano has said on his YouTube channel.
"No English club is ready to pay him €12m net."
Osimhen was very close to signing for Chelsea last summer, after the Blues struck a loan agreement late in the transfer window with Napoli.
However, the transfer fell through, because Chelsea were unwilling to break their wage structure for Osimhen.
