The name Victor Osimhen is once again causing a stir around FC Bayern – this time fueled by a spectacular rumor from Turkey. A possible mega-bid is in the air that would blow all previous transfer dimensions in Munich out of the water
The top Nigerian striker has been repeatedly linked with the German record champions for months, and now a report from Turkey has given new impetus to the speculation – including a concrete sum that is causing a lot of talk
As Turkish transfer expert Erinç Bilican explained in the Eski Açık format, there could be a real bombshell in the summer: „FC Bayern Munich will make an offer of €125 million for Victor Osimhen at the end of the season.“ A figure that makes you sit up and take notice. For comparison: Munich’s previous record transfer is around €95 million for Harry Kane
Bayern stick with Kane – Osimhen currently not an issue
However, such a move hardly seems realistic at present. In Harry Kane, Bayern have an undisputed regular in the center of attack whose contract runs until 2027. Internally, an extension is considered very likely, meaning that the plans in attack are clearly focused on the Englishman
Although there could be some personnel changes in the summer, especially as Nicolas Jackson is likely to leave the club again, there is currently little to suggest that Munich are prepared to invest such a large sum in another centre-forward. Instead, the focus is likely to be on a more economically sensible solution – for example in the form of a young attacker with development potential or a flexible loan option
At the same time, Osimhen continues to be in top sporting form. The 27-year-old has scored a strong 19 goals and provided seven assists in 28 competitive games for Galatasaray this season. His performances ensure that his name is regularly circulating on the international transfer market
FCB feels used
The fact that the rumours surrounding Osimhen continue to flare up is clearly causing internal resentment, as speculation has already been significantly relativized in the past
In the BILD podcast Bayern Insider, the topic was clearly classified: „This is not true.“ Bayern insider Christian Falk also found even clearer words: „I already know that the Bayern bosses are a bit annoyed. They feel used.“
These statements underline the fact that a transfer is currently not a concrete issue at Säbener Straße. Rather, the impression arises that FC Bayern’s name is repeatedly brought into play strategically in connection with Osimhen
A realistic scenario in which such a deal could actually gain momentum would be a surprise departure of Harry Kane. However, as long as the Englishman occupies the central role in attack and his future at the record champions is secure, a transfer of this magnitude remains nothing more than a spectacular but not very tangible mind game.
