Victor Osimhen: Thomas Tuchel reportedly ‘a big fan’ of Super Eagles attacker

Victor Osimhen has been on the radar of some top European clubs this season following his goal-scoring form for his club

Super Eagles attacker, Victor Osimhen, is reportedly being closely watched by Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel.

Soccernet.ng understands that the former Chelsea manager has been keeping a close eye on the attacker for a very long time and has been pleased with his play this year.

According to a previous report from Soccernet.ng, Bayern Munich is interested in luring the 24-year-old striker to the Allianz Arena for a sum of about €100 million.

The German manager, who has been closely watching the Nigerian’s play for a long time, may, however, go all out to sign him, according to a recent report.

Some of the major European clubs have been keeping an eye on the Super Eagles attacker as a result of his outstanding club play this season.

He has scored 25 goals overall in 29 appearances for his club, which has been crucial to Luciano Spalletti’s title challenge as well as the team’s progress in the Champions League to the quarterfinals.

Because of this, Manchester United, who has emerged as one of the top candidates to recruit him, will compete with Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and even Paris Saint-Germain for his services to strengthen their team.

However, according to a report by Transfer Guru Florian Plettenberg, the summer might become more hotter for Napoli since the Bundesliga powerhouse is keen to sign the striker.

“Thomas Tuchel is a big fan of him! He’s been monitoring the 24 y/o striker for a long time. He’s impressed with his performances this season. Understand that Tuchel can really imagine having Osimhen in his squad next year. Next talks will follow.” he wrote.

Although Osimhen is under contract to remain at the Diego Maradona stadium until 2025, Aurelio De Laurentiis may be forced to sell him if a team is willing to pay his €150 million asking price.
