Napoli’s Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen has attracted interest from several top European clubs. German champions Bayern Munich have identified him as a prime summer target, seeking to replace the departing Robert Lewandowski, who moved to Barcelona last year. Bayern already signed Liverpool forward Sadio Mané, but the club still needs an established goal‑machine to lead the centre‑forward line, and Osimhen’s prolific form makes him an ideal candidate.

In Italy, Osimhen has been unstoppable, currently the Serie A top scorer with 16 goals—a career high—while the season is still half way through. His performances have also drawn attention from English clubs, with Chelsea and Manchester United expected to battle for his signature and try to lure the Super Eagles international to the Premier League.

Despite the mounting interest, Napoli’s owner has firmly stated that the €120 million striker is “not for sale at any price.” Bayern Munich, however, appear undeterred by these comments and are reportedly prepared to make a serious push to bring Osimhen to the Bundesliga.
