Victor Osimhen

Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has become candidate on Bayern Munich’s radar as the German giants explore options to boost their attacking options ahead of the next season.

The Nigerian striker’s performances have caught the attention of several top European clubs, with interest in him rising rapidly due to his consistent goal-scoring form.

Osimhen truly came into his own at Napoli, playing a pivotal role in their sensational 2022/23 Serie A title-winning campaign.

The forward netted 26 goals and became one of the most feared strikers in Europe, showcasing his pace, strength, and clinical finishing.

With his form continuing to impress, Bayern and other leading clubs are reportedly keeping a close eye on the 27-year-old as they consider potential summer transfers.

Recall last week, Catalan arcelona made Osimhen a major target and are willing to go all out for him in the summer.

However, having paid €75 million for his services just seven months ago, Galatasaray wants to maximize its return on the transfer. Consequently, the club has placed a hefty €80 million price tag on the Nigerian international.
