Thomas Tuchel was more than cautious recently when the query came to Victor Osimhen. “Even without my flirting with signing the player, things are different in Italy. And then they say there, with good reason: ‘Why doesn’t Thomas keep his mouth shut?'”Tuchel meandered around a clear statement.
But behind closed doors it has long been clear: FC Bayern is dealing with the massive attacker from SSC Naples, who has made such an immense step towards world class in recent months.
Osimhen is flirting with the Bundesliga
But what does the 24-year-old Nigerian actually want, who – at least it feels – can freely choose his future club this summer? According to information from ‘Sport1’, Osimhen is at least considering a return to the Bundesliga, even if he is a big fan of the Premier League. His girlfriend, who was born and raised in Germany, may also play a role in the considerations.
Until 2025, Osimhen is still tied to Napoli. The fee is freely negotiable and could end up exceeding the three-digit million figure. In similar spheres, however, Bayern would also move in the cases of Harry Kane (29) and Randal Kolo Muani (24). So you can hardly avoid a huge investment if you don’t want to be solely dependent on Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (34) in the middle of the attack like this season.
