BREAKING: Thomas #Tuchel Signs Victor #Osimhen For Bayern Munich?—Former Chelsea Coach and New Bayern Munich manager, Thomas Tuchel, reportedly wants to sign Manchester United target Victor Osimhen in the summer for the Bundesliga champions.
This is coming ahead of Bayern Munich’s Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie against Manchester City on Tuesday night.
Bayern Munich saw Robert Lewandowski leave the club to join Barcelona last summer.
Instead of signing a natural centre-forward, they opted to bring in forward Sadio Mane from Liverpool and relied on Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting this season.
Mane, 31, prefers to play as a left-winger, while Choupo-Moting, 34, has been incredible this season, but the Cameroon international cannot be relied upon as a long-term option.
However, according to El Nacional, Bayern Munich have identified Osimhen, who currently plays for Napoli, as a target to bolster their frontline next season.
The Nigerian striker has been linked with a move to Manchester United recently and also Paris Saint-Germain in the past.
The 24-year-old could apparently cost around €150 million in transfer fees.
If Bayern Munich meets the asking price, it will eclipse the club-record €80 million they paid Atletico Madrid to sign Theo Hernandez back in 2019.
Osimhen has been impressive for Napoli so far this season, scoring 21 goals in 23 Serie A games for the Serie A leaders.
