Over the summer, Bayern Munich sold its once-prized prospect, Paul Wanner, to PSV Eindhoven in a move that represented closure to a puzzling few years for the attacker.
At one point, Wanner had both clubs and countries clamoring over him, but his star faded after an unsuccessful loan stint at Heidenheim. According to transfer journalist Ekrem Konur, Wanner could be angling for a return to Bavaria after a recent surge:

🔥 German giants hold a buy‑back option.
Wanner got off to a rough start with PSV Eindhoven, but has made steady improvements. Overall, Wanner has four goals and two assists this season, while tallying 1,520 minutes in 23 games across all competitions.
There is no word on what the buy-back fee would be, but the Dutch power just paid €15 million for him last summer.
BFW Analysis
This seems…doubtful. It is unclear where Wanner would fit on the roster as Lennart Karl has usurped the role that seemed destined for Wanner. With an attacking group that is expected to be loaded for next season, Wanner would not get more minutes (if any) at Bayern Munich next season barring some wild and unexpected exit of a star player from the roster.
It is not impossible, but it seems very unlikely.
