Bayern Munich have entered the race for Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen, with the Nigerian striker now on the German club’s list of targets as they consider options to strengthen their attack, Footynaija.com reports.
The 27-year-old has drawn interest from several top European sides following his form at Galatasaray, where he recently reached 50 goals in 59 appearances to become the fastest player in the club’s history to reach that total.
In early January, Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl rejected an approach from Osimhen’s camp, saying there was no need for another striker with Harry Kane settled in the role. Kane joined Bayern for a fee that could reach €100 million in 2023 and has a €65 million release clause in his contract, though he is understood to be content in Munich.
