Mercato PSG: Bayern has made its choice between Osimhen and Kolo Muani!
In search of a new striker, Bayern Munich has chosen between Victor Osimhen (Napoli) and Randal Kolo Muani (Eintracht Frankfurt), two talents also being considered by PSG and English clubs.
With 26 and 21 goals respectively this season, Victor Osimhen (24 years old, Napoli) and Randal Kolo Muani (24 years old, Frankfurt) are among the most courted players for the summer mercato. PSG and Bayern Munich, who both want a new striker this summer, are interested, as well as Chelsea and Manchester United.
However, according to Bild, Bayern Munich has just made a big decision in the case of their new striker. The German tabloid claims that the Bavarian club has decided to withdraw from the race to sign Victor Osimhen, as they are not convinced that he will be able to impose himself quickly and is worth the cost of being recruited for a record sum (Napoli would demand 150 million euros).

The German media claims that Randal Kolo Muani is now the preferred option of Bayern Munich to strengthen its attack this summer. Yesterday, Bild revealed that Eintracht Frankfurt had set the price of its French international at 120 million euros.
If Bayern goes for Kolo Muani, will this open a gap for PSG in the Osimhen case? Yesterday, the German journalist of Sky Sports Florian Plettenberg said that PSG was not the hottest option for the Nigerian, whose future would rather be at Chelsea or Manchester United according to this source.
News Osimhen: Understand that PSG is not the hottest option for him at this stage. Despite of the fact that Paris bosses are pushing for him a lot. It’s more concrete with clubs like CFC and MUFC.
