Another day, another Bayern youngster in the news.
This time, it’s exciting campus prospect Adin Ličina, who is having quite the season thus far, with 2 goals and 6 assists in 20 appearances in all competitions
for FC Bayern II. A right winger by trade, the versatile attacker has also played as an attacking midfielder and a left winger at times, showcasing his versatility across the front line.
Unfortunately for him, Bayern’s first team has too many players of a similar profile, with Lennart Karl recently exploding onto the stage. However, his talent hasn’t gone unnoticed, and clubs around Europe are turning their heads towards his performances and beginning to contemplate a move for the talented youngster. One such club with great pull, thanks in no small part to its incredible history and European pedigree, is Italian giant AC Milan per La Gazzetta dello Sport (via @iMiaSanMia):
Milan are targeting a January move for Adin Ličina. Inter, Juventus, Sporting CP and Real Sociedad have also been following the youngster. Bayern are open to letting Ličina leave the club. The idea could be a low-cost fee with a high sell-on clause or potentially a buy-back in Bayern’s favour.
From a Bayern point of view, this only makes sense if the club is able to secure a sell-on clause or a buy-back clause, since the talent is undeniable. The minutes should help him develop and mature into a top wing prospect (hopefully), which would certainly raise his stock. Bayern should then be able to make some money off a potential future sale or be able to buy the player back in the event that the club execs decide he is ready for first-team action.
A winter move could have major upside. However, a buy-back clause is required at this stage.
