Osimhen eyes Bayern move, but Kane blocks the deal | OneFootball

History repeats itself, only the latitude changes. Victor Osimhen’s “discontent” seems to be a constant, regardless of the jersey he wears or the goals he scores. Despite an impressive record with Galatasaray – 59 goals in 57 matches and the status of an absolute idol – and a €75 million investment by the Turkish club last summer to buy him outright from Napoli, the idyll on the Bosphorus already appears to be cracking.

Galatasaray on alert over Osimhen: agents in Germany, the club takes action

While the striker is busy in Morocco leading his Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations (on Monday, January 5th, there’s the round of 16 against Mozambique), his agents are working to find an escape route to more prestigious leagues. According to rumors coming from Germany, reported by sport.virgilio, the player’s entourage has knocked on Bayern Munich’s door, offering the masked striker’s services to the Bavarians. The response from Munich, however, was a firm but temporary “no, thank you.” The reason has a name and surname: Harry Kane. With the Englishman untouchable at the center of the attack, there’s no room for Osimhen in January. However, the discussion could reopen in the summer if the former Tottenham player decides to return to the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray is not standing idly by. Sensing the unease of their star, the yellow-red management has launched a defensive maneuver: proposing a contract renewal to Mauro Icardi. Despite being 31 years old and with a contract expiring soon, the former Inter captain remains a guarantee. The club has put a multi-year extension on the table, albeit at lower figures than the current €10 million. It’s a precautionary move to avoid the risk of being left with a blunt attack if Osimhen were to force his way out.
