Weighing potential locations for Tremendous Eagles striker Victor Osimhen amid hyperlinks to the Premier League and Actual Madrid

Victor Osimhen has been incessantly linked with a move away from Napoli in the coming transfer window because of his very good type this season.

The Nigerian striker has scored 25 objectives in 29 video games for Napoli this season, the kind of numbers that appeal to hyperlinks to the largest golf equipment on the planet.

Premier League golf equipment like Chelsea, Arsenal and the 2 Manchester giants have been linked to Osimhen in addition to European elites comparable to Actual Madrid and Paris Saint Germain however the place ought to Osimhen actually go? If in any respect leaving Napoli turns into an possibility.

Osimhen’s potential locations

Earlier than any extra pontifications about his future locations, you will need to point out that Victor Osimhen has simply over two years left on his present Napoli contract which he signed when the membership paid a whopping €75 million for his companies in 2020.

So it’s unlikely that Napoli want to promote nor do they even must according to club owner Aurelio De Laurentiis but when he have been to maneuver this summer season, Bayern Munich makes essentially the most sense of all his potential locations.

One has to imagine that Napoli can be trying to promote Osimhen for a minimum of double what they paid for him which is a good evaluation contemplating the present switch local weather.

Fortunate sufficient, the entire golf equipment which were linked to him, Manchester Metropolis, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint Germain and Actual Madrid can afford the projected €140 million price.

However when it comes all the way down to which of these golf equipment would really pay that a lot primarily based on precedent and even wants a striker that badly, the record is whittled all the way down to Chelsea, Manchester United, Paris Saint Germain and Actual Madrid.

Chelsea can be the right vacation spot in principle contemplating the truth that they will positively afford him because of their spend-thrift proprietor Todd Boehly they usually additionally occur to want a striker however the lack of success for centre-forwards at Stamford Bridge makes the membership a much less engaging vacation spot from Osimhen’s perspective.

Manchester United are additionally mentioned to be strongly with Wout Weghorst briefly holding the area for an elite striker to return in the summertime.  

Paris additionally is smart as a vacation spot, a brilliant group in a beautiful metropolis with out an elite central striker on the books, that means he can simply slot in and companion up with Mbappe (if he is nonetheless there) to wreak additional havoc on Ligue 1 the place he has prior expertise with Lille.

Actual Madrid have additionally been linked with 35-year-old star striker Karim Benzema in his twilight years however the membership have a well-publicised (and doubtless unhealthy) fixation on signing Mbappe so Osimhen may not be excessive up their radar for now.

This leaves Bayern Munich as the right vacation spot for Osimhen regardless of the Germans sparsely getting talked about within the saga, it could be a match made in heaven.

Why Osimhen to Bayern Munich is smart

It’s unlikely that Bayern Munich would ever pay north of €150 million for any participant because the Germans have a repute for being good and frugal within the switch market.

They’ve solely ever paid greater than €50 million for a participant twice of their 123-year historical past and each have been on defenders: €67 million to land Matthijs De Ligt from Juventus final summer season whereas their membership file signing stays the €80 million signing of Lucas Hernandez in 2019.

If Bayern have been to one way or the other signal Osimhen, he can be by far their costliest striker ever on the very least, surpassing the measly €30 million they paid for Mario Gomez in 2009.

Funds apart, Bayern nonetheless haven’t changed Robert Lewandowski who left to affix Barcelona at the beginning of the season and though Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has performed a terrific job thus far by his requirements, he’s no elite striker.

Osimhen however has newly attained that elite standing and the 24-year-old would slot in like a glove in Bavaria over the following decade similar to Lewandoski did.

The Polish gunman scored 344 objectives in 375 video games throughout eight years for Bayern Munich, the kind of high-level manufacturing and consistency Osimhen might replicate with age on his aspect.

Bayern Munich has been a fertile floor for strikers in recent times, Mario Gomez earlier than Lewandowski scored 113 objectives in 174 video games in 4 years on the membership as did Mario Mandzukic with 48 objectives in 88 video games.

Even the aforementioned Choupo-Moting has scored 17 objectives in 26 video games this season which is already six greater than his earlier single-season tally in a 16-year skilled profession.

Think about how rather more Osimhen would rating primarily based on his present type in a group that’s optimised for centre forwards to thrive, that is exactly why a Bayern Munich switch is what’s greatest for the Nigerian.
