Bayern Munich could be priced out of a deal for N76b-rated Super Eagles striker 

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are said to have cooled down their interest in Napoli and Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen due to his hefty price tag.
​ 
​
This is according to the ever-reliable Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany.
​
​
Osimhen, who has netted 26 goals in all competitions for Napoli, has been identified by Bayern Munich as a summer target.
​
​
The Bavarians lost Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona last summer and relied on Cameroonian forward Eric Choupo-Moting as the center forward all season but the Cameroonian has failed to step into the big shoes left by Lewandowski.
​
​
Hence the interest in Osimhen, who has painted Europe with goals for Napoli this season.
​
​
Plettenberg wrote on his social media account about Bayern Munich's relaxation of interest in Osimhen:

"The contact with FC Bayern has cooled down because of his price tag. At this stage, a transfer is not affordable for Bayern. The club won't pay more than €100m for a new striker and Napoli is still demanding up to €150m (N76b in Nigerian currency). Bayern is aware of it. Therefore no concrete talks with Bayern at this stage".
​
​
​The Nigerian striker has also been linked with Manchester United but is not considered a primary target at this stage, with Harry Kane and Randal Kolo Muani on top of the Red Devils' wishlist ahead of Osimhen as we had earlier reported.
​
​
Two-time Champions League winners Chelsea and Ligue 1 moneybags PSG are also interested in his services.
