The constant mention of such things as transfer fees, buyout clauses, and other football terminologies can easily make one lose sight of the other unseen forces that can easily influence a player's decision to join a club.

In the case of Victor Osimhen, his girlfriend, Stephanie could play a huge role in the Napoli talisman's next transfer amid interest from Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich.

Napoli are reportedly demanding a staggering €150m before they will release their most-priced asset.

However, Osimhen's next move could depend on the preferred destination of his girlfriend who is said to be in favour of one particular club.

As per reports, Osimhen's girlfriend (Stephanie) is open to a move to Germany so that their little daughter could grow close to the family.

Also, aside from a move to the Premier League, which is top on his scale of preference, the Super Eagles striker is also open to a return to Germany where he featured for Wolfsburg at the beginning of his senior career.

These two indicators make the Bundesliga title holders a more likely destination for the Serie A leading top scorer.

The Bavarians are also in search of a natural centre-forward to replace the departed Robert Lewandowski who joined Barcelona last summer.

It still remains to be seen how things will unfold in the coming weeks.

The Nigerian has scored 26 goals in all competitions for the runaway Serie A leaders so far this term.

He is on the cusp of becoming the first African player to win the Paolo Rossi Award given to the top scorer in the Italian topflight.
