Bayern Munich have proposed a swap deal involving Sadio Mane joining Napoli in exchange for Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.
This is according to Sky Sport reporter, Florian Plettenberg.
Osimhen has been in sensational form for Napoli who are on the verge of landing a first Serie A title since 1990.
The Nigerian star is currently Serie A’s leading goalscorer with 21 goals in 25 league appearances.
His superb form has attracted interest from top European clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern.
However, Napoli have placed over a 100 million euros on their prized asset.
To drive the price down, Bayern Munich have tabled the idea of a player plus cash deal involving Mane going the other way.
Bayern’s displeasure with Mane is a well-known fact and the Bavarian institution is looking for ways to offload him.
Recently he got into a confrontation with his teammate, Leroy Sane and punched him after Bayern’s first-leg Champions League defeat against Manchester City.
Following huge interest on Osimhen, Plettenberg reports:“Napoli want €150m for Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker wants to join Bayern.”
“No negotiations between clubs yet. There’s a first idea of a potential swap deal with Sadio Mané.”
“However, Napoli cannot afford the Senegalese’s wages.”
Osimhen and his Napoli teammates will be crowned Serie A champions if they beat Salernitana and Lazio fail to overcome Inter Milan.
