Napoli’s ₦49billion valuation of Osimhen discourages Bayern Munich

The Bavarians are set to lose Lewandowski this summer and they are desperately searching for a replacement, but the Partenopeans are unwilling to give them a soft landing

German champions Bayern Munich are set to pull out of the race to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen because of Napoli’s ₦49billion-valuation of the player.

Talismanic striker Robert Lewandowski has stated his intention to leave Munich this summer, with Barcelona the likely destination. Because of this, the Bavarians are desperately in search of a suitable replacement.

Napoli hitman Victor Osimhen had a brilliant campaign with Napoli last season scoring 18 goals in 32 appearances. The former Lille man has raised a lot of interest from some top European teams.

There were earlier reports linking Bayern Munich with a move for Napoli hitman Victor Osimhen. However, Skysports reports that the 31-time Bundesliga champions are unwilling to dole out €110million for any player.

Nonetheless, a Napoli exit can not be ruled out for Osimhen, as interest from Premier League clubs Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Arsenal are yet to die down.

Still, Napoli’s price tag has been the major barrier for any deal, as the Partenopeans are not ready to lose their prized asset unless they get a mega fee.
