Ighalo’s currently six-month loan is set to expire in the next few days and the Premier League side are keen to keep the for another six months following his impressive performances.
The Chinese side initially was only interested in discussing 20 million pounds of permanent transfer for the player, a price tag that United considered too excessive.

Ighalo’s current deal in China is up in December 2022. The offer on the table is reportedly worth £400,000 a week and it is unclear if the former Super Eagles striker will put pen to paper for the new deal.
