Bayern Munich youngster Noël Aséko Nkili will soon get some clarity on his future.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a successful loan spell at Hannover 96 and has already been tipped for a return to Munich, where he is expected to slot straight into the senior side.
But as we know, it is not always easy on a young player to go from playing all the time, to sitting on the bench and paying his dues. The relationship and trust that forms between player and coach is paramount.
To that end, Bayern coach Vincent
Kompany is expected to talk shop with his latest incoming talent. From Az journalist Maximilian Koch, as captured by @iMiaSanMia:
Vincent Kompany will soon hold a meeting with Noël Aséko Nkili to discuss the future plans with the midfielder. Kompany appreciates Aséko’s qualities. As things stand, the 20-year old will return to Munich in the summer and compete for a midfield spot following Leon Goretzka’s departure [@_kochmaximilian]
Further information from Sport1 journalist Stefan Kumberger is that the discussion will take place next month and that a contract update is on the table as well (which would make sense, given that Hannover 96 is expected to activate Aséko’s buy clause and prompt Bayern, in turn, to activate a buy-back clause). Via @iMiaSanMia_GER:
Noël Aséko has been promised that there will be a personal conversation with Vincent Kompany in April. In addition, an adjustment to Aséko’s contract is under discussion. [Die Bayern-Woche, @StefanKumberger]
What plans will Kompany have for Aséko — and where in the squad will he fit?
