Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich want to bring Henry Onyekuru to Germany from Premier League side Everton in the summer.
Marcel Brands has told Bayern Munich that they will need to pay £35 million to lure Henry Onyekuru away from Everton this summer, according to Fanatik.
A £7 million signing from Belgian outfit KAS Eupen in the summer of 2017, the 21-year-old was tipped for big things at Goodison Park. But he has been unable to make his Premier League debut for the club thanks to an ongoing work permit problem.
As a result, Onyekuru was forced to spend the 2017/18 season at Anderlecht while he is currently on loan at Galatasaray, scoring 11 goals for the reigning Super Lig champions.
Work permit legislations are less binding in Germany, however, meaning Onyekuru would be free to play Bundesliga football if he joined Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga champions are looking to snap up some of Europe’s biggest young talents to keep themselves at the top of the game and the Nigerian has been tipped to join Benjamin Pavard, Alphonso Davies and co in Bavaria.
Fanatik claims that Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic called Everton counterpart Brands over the weekend to enquire about a deal for Onyekuru. Brands, however, allegedly stated that the versatile forward would cost £35 million.
That fee would see Everton net a £28 million profit on a player who has never played for them. But will they really sell?
