Overview
- Victor Osimhen was offered to Bayern via an English intermediary acting for Galatasaray, which is seeking transfer income, according to tz.
- Sporting director Max Eberl told the intermediary that Bayern have no current need for another top striker and would only revisit the idea if Harry Kane left after the season, per the reports.
- Kane’s summer departure is viewed as unlikely as recent public discussions have focused on a potential contract extension, though German reports note a clause that could be triggered by the end of January for about €65 million.
- Osimhen moved from Napoli to Galatasaray on loan before a reported €75 million permanent deal in 2025 and remains under contract until 2029 with an estimated value near €75 million.
- The Nigeria forward is at the Africa Cup and has scored 12 goals in 16 appearances for Galatasaray this season, while Bayern continue to assess backup options such as Franculino Dju and Fisnik Asllani with a permanent move for Nicolas Jackson considered unlikely.
