Bayern Munich apparently has some very ambitious plans for their attack, and one name that could eventually enter the picture again is FC Porto winger Oskar Pietuszewski. The 18-year-old Polish prospect has caught the attention of board member for sport Max Eberl, and the interest is reportedly far more serious than recently suggested.
According to Tomasz Włodarczyk of Meczyki.pl, Bayern Munich was prepared to trigger Pietuszewski’s €60 million release clause last summer. He was reportedly the club’s
preferred attacking target, ahead of Anthony Gordon, who was also on Bayern’s shortlist before joining FC Barcelona.
Bayern Munich’s scouting department had been tracking Pietuszewski since his time at Jagiellonia, and the club continued monitoring his development following his move to Portugal. Scouts were even present at Porto’s match against Napoli.
Unfortunately, injuries derailed any potential move during the summer, and the youngster has struggled to build momentum this season, making just four appearances for Porto. He was also left out of Poland’s November national team squad.
However, FC Bayern’s admiration has apparently not disappeared. Włodarczyk believes the subject could return in the future, meaning Pietuszewski is certainly a name worth keeping an eye on as Bayern Munich considers their long-term attacking options.
