Premier League missed Osmayen? TA: The transfer fee is 75 million and the salary is 20 million. I have doubts about his personality
TA wrote an article about the reasons why many Premier League giants "missed" Osmaine in the summer window, including high transfer fees, salary, and player personality.
Although many Premier League giants urgently needed top strikers in the summer window, they collectively missed Osmeen, who eventually transferred to Galatasaray for a permanent transfer of 75 million euros.
Galatasaray coach called the deal a "miracle" for the Turkish team, and Osmain quickly repaid his trust with his performance. He scored the winning goal against Liverpool in the Champions League and showed a strong impact.
The reason why Premier League clubs hesitate is quite complicated. The first is the high fees, including €75 million in transfer fees and huge salary. It is revealed that Osmeen's annual income in Galatasaray is as high as about 20 million euros (annual salary of 15 million + portrait rights of 5 million), a weekly salary of nearly 400,000 euros, and only 20% tax is required. Secondly, the schedule of the African Cup, his frequent muscle injury history and stability in his condition all discouraged potential buyers.
The deeper reason lies in doubt about his personality. It is understood that at least one Premier League club that conducted preliminary inspections on him have received some "negative reports" about his personality. However, this statement is in stark contrast to his situation in Turkey.
Sources working with Osmayen at Galatasaray said on condition of anonymity that he quickly integrated into the locker room while on loan and was loved by teammates and fans. His recent kindness of inviting a young postoperative fan to visit the training ground and present jerseys has also shown his positive side.
Ultimately, Osmaine's choice of Galatasaray was a result of multiple factors: he played comfortably here, had a good relationship with the fans, and was rewarded with great rewards.
It is worth noting that he rejected nearly double the salary offered by Saudi team Riyadh Crescent, which shows that money is not the only determinant and also suggests that if the Premier League team is sincere enough, it may be able to convince him to join with a more reasonable salary.
