Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is reportedly a big admirer of Osimhen and could push for a summer move for the striker
Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel is believed to be a big fan of Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen and would be willing to greenlight a possible move for the Napoli forward in the summer.
Osimhen on Bayern Munich's radar
The newly-appointed manager has suffered a stuttering start to his reign as Bayern Munich manager and has suffered a cup exit after losing to Freiburg in the DFB Pokal.
They have also faltered in the race for the UEFA Champions League, losing the first leg of their quarterfinal tie against Manchester City 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium, leaving them with one leg out of the competition already.
One of Bayern Munich’s main problem areas has been the lack of a recognised centre-forward in the team, and the Bavarians have identified a number of possible options to fill the gap.
Osimhen is one such name alongside other forwards like Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani.
According to sources in Germany, Osimhen is Tuchel’s preferred choice, and the manager expects the club to open talks with Napoli for the in-form Nigerian forward.
Should Tuchel get his way, Osimhen will be in Bavaria in the summer, as long as Bayern are able to meet Napoli’s valuation of €150 million.
Meanwhile, Osimhen's move to Bayern is under threat
French World Cup star Randal Kolo Muani could be an obstacle in the way of Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen’s summer move to Bayern Munich move after it emerged that the striker emerged as a cheaper candidate for the Bavarians.

World Cup star standing in the way of Osimhen’s Bayern Munich move
France's World Cup star could stand in the way of Osimhen's Bayern Munich move after he emerged as a cheaper alternative
Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo-Muani who is also 24 years old, is being touted as a significant option for Bayern Munich as he also fits what they would be looking for in a forward.
The French striker who impressed at the World Cup would be a lot less expensive than Osimhen and could cost between €70 - €100 million which is believed to be the amount Bayern has earmarked for a forward this summer.
