Shanghai Shenhua expects Odion Ighalo to return from his loan period at Manchester United in time for the start of the new season of the Chinese Super League, which will start in July.
Manchester United is willing to extend Ighalo’s loan to cover the end of the Premier League season, the date of which is still unclear amid the coronavirus pandemic.
As it stands, Shanghai Shenhua will only allow Ighalo to stay at Old Trafford if he is in a permanent deal and the Chinese club values him well over £ 20 million.
Newcastle United is believed to be interested in Ighalo if its proposed acquisition is completed this summer.
Ighalo revealed last month that “there is still no offer on the table” for Manchester United to extend his stay at the club beyond his current loan period, despite manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinting that an agreement could be reached. .
The Nigerian striker got off to an encouraging start at Manchester United after his surprise move on Deadline Day, scoring four times in eight appearances before the Premier League suspension.
Sky Sports News revealed in March that Ighalo had been offered a two-year contract extension by parent club Shanghai worth £ 400,000 per week.
Ighalo’s current contract expires in December 2022, but Shanghai wants to keep it until at least December 2024.
