Bayern Munich have ruled out signing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer.
The Bundesliga champions will be on the lookout for a new No.9 to replace Robert Lewandowski, who has expressed his desire to leave this summer.
Osimhen, who is worth €110 million, has been linked with a move to Bayern.
However, transfer expert Marc Behrenbeck of Sky Sports Germany insisted on Tuesday that the Bavarians could afford the Nigerian,
“Yes, he (Osimhen) played a great season, is a really good player, but according to our information it is not currently an issue at FC Bayern.
“Yes, Bayern wants to get another No.9, but it’s not Osimhen. In addition, the requested transfer fee is far too high.” €100m or €110m? No, no way,” Behrenbeck said.
Osimhen scored 18 goals in all competitions last season and made six more in 32 appearances as Napoli finished third in Serie A.
