Bayern Munich have several talented players from their academy collecting precious first-team minutes on loan at other clubs, but the Rekordmeister thinks one of them is ready to take the next step with their first team:
Noël Aséko Nkili will return to FC Bayern for next season. Brighton, West Ham, Villarreal, Club Brugge, Galatasaray, and several Bundesliga clubs have inquired to Bayern about the midfielder – but sporting director Christoph Freund declined all inquiries. Hannover will exercise their
€1m option to buy, but Bayern will immediately use their €2.4m buy-back clause. That means Bayern would ‘buy’ their own player for €1.4m after he was able to gain experience, develop further, and would be ready for the next step in Bayern’s first team, which is a good deal for all parties involved

With the 20-year-old’s impending return, the Bavarians have ruled out a move for Kenneth Eichhorn in the meantime but not fully closing the door on a potential move.
