Bayern Munich Keen To Replace Lewandowksi With £65m Osimhen

 

German Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have reportedly made an enquiry on the availability of Nigeria international Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window.

The Napoli striker valued at over £65m attracted lots of interests from some of Europe’s elite clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and the emerging force in Newcastle United.

However transfer updates on Monday indicate that Bayern consider Osimhen a good replacement for Robert Lewandowski whose move to Barcelona has now been confirmed.

Despite Bayern Munich signing African Footballer of the Year holder Sadio Mane from Liverpool and tying Serge Gnabry down to a new long-term contract, the Bavarians are still in the market for a striker.

Osimhen was thought by many of his fans to be heading to the Emirates for a, new chapter with Arsenal but the Gunners opted to sign Gabriel Jesus when Alexandre Lacazette returned to his former club Olympique Lyon on a free transfer.
