Representative comments on Odion Ighalo situation amid Newcastle United speculation

Odion Ighalo’s representative has dismissed speculation that Manchester United loanee and reported Newcastle United target has been offered £400,000-a-week new contract by his parent club Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, as quoted of Foot Mercato.

Eye-watering salary

The Times reported on Monday evening that Chinese Super League club Shanghai want Ighalo back from his loan spell at United next month.

The 30-year-old striker joined the Red Devils on loan in the January transfer window, and that spell runs out at the end of this month.

Although the Nigeria wants to stay at Old Trafford, his parent club Shanghai want him back, unless United are ready to pay £20 million to make the transfer permanent, according to the report.
