Osimhen too expensive for Bayern?

The sum of €150 million is said to be the asking price for Osimhen from Napoli's top brass.

According to a report by Daily Post and a tweet by acclaimed reporter, Fabrizio Romano, Kahn explained that Bayern Munich would not be pursuing the Nigerian for this reason.

"When it’s about such a fee, we have to ask the question: does the player give you a guarantee for this money? That would definitely be a big risk."

With four games until the end of the season in Italy, Osimhen is still leading the scoring chart with 23 goals.
