Will he become the first 100 million man in the Bundesliga?
“Corriere dello Sport” from Italy reports that FC Bayern put out feelers to Napoli clipper Victor Osimhen (23/14 goals this season). The big BUT: His transfer fee is fixed at 110 million euros.
The Nigerian (18 caps) was under contract with VfL Wolfsburg from January 2017 to the summer of 2019. However, he didn’t make a particularly lasting impression at the time, having been loaned out to RSC Charleroi in 2018/19.
But then things went haywire for him. The Belgians took him under contract for a transfer fee of 3.5 million, but sold him directly to OSC Lille. Then already collected 22.4 million euros. Naples paid an incredible 75 million for the attacker in the summer. So now Bayern the required 110 million euros?
Too expensive! If there was actually an interest from Bayern, then it was more along the lines of: “Honestly, what do you really want for him just in case?” According to Sport-BILD information, however, it is definitely the case that Bayern SSC Napoli not contacted and the rumor is untrue.
Because just a reminder: Bayern had the opportunity to get Erling Haaland (21/ManCity from summer) for 75 million plus background noise – but refrained from doing so for economic reasons.

Nevertheless, there is no shortage of interested parties for Osimhen. Especially in England people are hot for him. ManUnited are looking for a centre-forward, as are Arsenal and the nouveau riche “Magpies” from Newcastle United, who would like to be in the Champions League as early as summer 2023.
However, the rumors surrounding Osimhen have been fading in recent weeks. It is quite possible that the consultants now want to speed things up again and want to use a possible Lewandowski successor search for their purposes.
The Pole is currently showing little interest in fulfilling his contract, which runs until the summer of 2023. He would rather go to Barcelona. After all, Bayern are already further at Sadio Mané (30 / Liverpool).
The deal is expected to close. The Senegalese will cost the record champions 35 to 40 million. After that, there shouldn’t be 110 million left for Osimhen under guarantee.
