Manchester, to sign Odion Ighalo for £15m
Manchester United are reportedly ready to sign Odion Ighalo
following his impressive performances at the Premier League club.
According to Daily Mail, Manchester United will pay up to
£15million this summer to sign Ighalo as his temporary move from Shanghai
Shenhua is set to end on May 31, earlier than most loan deals.
The good news comes days after it was revealed that Shanghai
are prepared to sell Odion Ighalo and have put a £15m valuation on the player.
The publication also
disclosed that while the club are ready to sign Ighalo permanently they are
also looking at negotiating an extension of the loan with Shenhua if the
Premier League season which is on hold until the end of April continues into
June because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Since signing for the
club in the January transfer window, the Nigerian striker has scored four goals
in his first eight matches for Manchester United.
Earlier this month,
Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted that United were interested
in making Ighalo’s move permanent.
‘He will improve and get better,’ said the United boss. He
has qualities we saw in him that we needed. And we will still need those
qualities next season — so let’s see what we will do.’
