FCB far below SGE asking price?
A first version of the article appeared on Friday (May 5) at 06:56 and was subsequently updated with further information.
According to information from the FC Bayern Munich “Picture” Have distanced themselves from a possible signing of SSC Napoli center forward Victor Osimhen. According to the newspaper, there is a rumored transfer fee of between 100 million and 150 million euros for the 24-year-old Nigerian. The German record champions have doubts as to whether Osimhen will immediately help as desired. The risk of disappointment is too great, so an offer should not be submitted. The fact that contact with Osimhen had cooled off had also happened before sky reported.
The professional, who failed as a teenager at his first stop in Europe at VfL Wolfsburg, has been instrumental in Napoli’s sporting success this season with his goals. This culminated in the Italian championship on Thursday evening with a draw at Udinese Calcio. Osimhen thus developed into one of the hottest transfer acts in Europe. Therefore, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United would also be interested, it is said. “It’s not the right time to talk about my future. I just want to enjoy this incredible title. I can’t wait to go back to Napoli and hug the fans. I’m so happy for them,” Osimhen stated (quoted via Fabrizio Romano). Aurelio de Laurentiis, president of the Serie A club since 2004, says he has no intention of giving up his team’s jewels anyway.

Discuss FC Bayern now in the forumThis way
Those responsible in Munich have not really been able to close the gap in Bayern’s center forward position after Robert Lewandowski’s 45 million move to FC Barcelona last summer. The only established nine in the squad is Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (34), who has the most of all Bayern professionals this season with 17 goals across all competitions, but has been struggling with injuries for weeks. Bayern President Herbert Hainer recently said after the end in the “premier class” against Manchester City: “Assume that we will strengthen the team so that we can play for the Champions League and the titles again. If you could name me the one that hits the spot immediately, we would buy it immediately.”
FC Bayern center forward search: Eintracht Frankfurt’s Kolo Muani should be
According to reports, the Frenchman Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt is the preferred solution for the new season. There was also repeated speculation about an interest in Tottenham’s Harry Kane (29), but the track no longer seems hot. Instead, it should be the 24-year-old SGE striker, who has hit the ground running with Hessen and is the top scorer in the Bundesliga with 25 goals.

Kolo Muani’s contract in Frankfurt ends in 2027 and does not contain an exit clause, for the runner-up world champion apparently 120 million euros are called. So much has never been paid for a new signing in Germany, Munich defender Lucas Hernández (27) has been the record purchase since 2019/20. Initial talks with the management of the Eintracht high-flyer are said to have already taken place. These went well, even if there are still no concrete negotiations, the TV station “Sky” recently reported.
Update May 5, 11:20 am: Those responsible at FC Bayern think according to the “Picture” in the case of Kolo Muani, a transfer fee of around 60 million euros is more likely. In addition, there would be possible later bonus payments. Nevertheless, it is very conceivable that both clubs would ultimately meet in the middle.
