Bayern Munich are reportedly considering a Victor Osimhen-Sadio Mane swap deal proposal with Napoli. The Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, is keenly sought after by the biggest clubs in Europe. Now, the Bundesliga giants have entered the fiercely-contested race.
As the current African footballer of the year, Sadio Mane has failed to live up to expectations in Munich. The Senegalese could be heading for the exit door at the end of the season. This is following his recent spat with Leroy Sane.
Bayern are believed to be willing to cut ties with Mane once the current campaign is done. Furthermore, they look to add attacking reinforcements to their squad.
The Nigerian striker’s asking price of 150 million euros is a major stumbling block for Bayern. According to Sky Sports, the Bavarians are considering a proposal of swapping Osimhen with Mane to entice Napoli into selling the Nigerian striker.
Although negotiations are yet to start between Bayern and Napoli, it is believed that Mane’s €22m annual salary is too high for the Serie A leaders.
It is unclear whether Napoli would be willing to accept a player-plus-cash package for Osimhen who tops the Serie A goalscoring charts with 21 goals in 25 appearances.
