According to a report from SportsBoom (as captured by Tz), Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are both keeping an eye on New York Red Bulls midfielder Adri Mehmeti.
Mehmeti is just 16-years-old and considered to be one of the primary gems of the Red Bull youth system:
FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are on the lookout for the stars of tomorrow. Both clubs have apparently set their sights on 16-year-old Adri Mehmeti, as reported by the portal SportsBoom . The New York Red Bulls midfielder is
considered one of the most promising talents in American soccer and has already attracted the attention of several top European clubs. In addition to the German powerhouses, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, and Chelsea are among the interested parties.
Chelsea, in particular, seems to be in a strong position in the race for Mehmeti. Reports indicate that the London club has already held informal talks with the talent’s representatives, which could potentially give them an edge over their rivals.
A transfer of Mehmeti to Europe is not without its challenges. The 16-year-old has a long-term contract with the New York Red Bulls until the end of 2028. Should interest from European clubs materialize, the MLS club could demand a high transfer fee. This could complicate negotiations, especially considering that several top clubs are in the running for the player.
Mehmeti has gained some notoriety for his plays s far this season. In five MLS games, the youngster has two assists. It will likely be tough to pry him away from the Red Bull organization just yet. If he continues his success, it would not be shocking to see him in the Bundesliga eventually…playing for RB Leipzig.
