Reports that Nigeria and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is being considered by Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich as a possible replacement for Robert Lewandowski have divided fans online.
According to Dario Sports, Bayern have opened negotiations with Napoli for Osimhen with Polish striker Lewandowski having expressed his desire to leave the Bavarian giants this summer.
The rumours seem to have excited a section of fans who feel the Nigerian linking up with Senegalese forward Sadio Mane at the Allianz Arena would be good for Bayern and Africa while some think he is not the kind of profile that the club should be looking at.

There are little rumblings of Osimhen to Bayern Munich as Lewandowski’s replacement. Tough to decipher if it’s just speculation or concrete interest. Something to keep an eye on #Transfers #fcbayern

Il #Bayern è uno dei pochi club che se vuole arriva a #Napoli posa i soldi e si prende #Osimhen. Anche alla cifra chiesta da Adl. L'interesse è datato e il calciatore piace da molto tempo.

Strong , fast, good linkup play, shielding, good header, good dribbler. Victor Osimhen. He’s very young and Vibrant too 🔥 🇳🇬 pic.twitter.com/agpd5AQSu7
Other supporters think while Bayern would be good for Osimhen, it is Manchester United who are likely to get him instead.
Bayern also keeping tabs on Osimhen in case Lewandowski moves to Barcelona.

Rumours say, Napoli may sell him for €70M + add ons.
Personally, don't think #mufc will move for him though.
If @Cristiano leaves @ManUtd hope he goes to @FCBayern and completes another league @ManUtd should target @victorosimhen9 to replace him top young hungry striker 🔥®️

Osimhen, who has been at Napoli for two years, was the club’s top scorer with 18 goals in all competitions last season and managed 14 in Serie A as Luciano Spalletti’s side finished third.
