FC Bayern will already use the club World Cup in the USA (June 14th to July 13th) to new summer access Tom Bishop of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
“Since we have a new transfer window between June 1st and June 10th, we will be able to register Tom Bishop. He will be there,” confirmed sports director Max Eberl, confirmed by the German record champions.
Tom Bischof will also do without participation in the U21 European Championship in Slovakia.
FC Bayern officially made the commitment of the 19-year-old midfield juwel in January. Bischof’s contract with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim expires, so a transfer fee is not due. In Munich he received a contract until June 30, 2029.
“Tom Bischof is one of the greatest German talents that are already interested internationally. With his only 19 years, he was able to gain a lot of experience in professional football, in the Bundesliga like in the DFB Cup and the Europa League. Tom, as a playful midfielder, fits our orientation optimally,” commented sports director Christoph Freund at the time.
He added: “We are pleased that he decided to take his next steps at Bayern. Tom brings everything to establish himself at the highest level.”
In the advertisement around Bishop, FC Bayern, reportedly, prevailed against several Bundesliga competitors, including RB Leipzig.
FC Bayern: Bishop transfer also causes resentment
However, his obligation should not encounter enthusiasm everywhere in the Bavarian capital. The “kicker” wrote at the end of April that the transfer of FC Bayern is “questioned” and sometimes even understood as a “affront”.
Background: With Gabriel Vidovic, Paul Wanner and Arijon Ibrahimović, their own talents with a similar profile like Bishop with the hooves.
Youngster like Javier Fernandez, Felipe Chavez and Guido Della Rovere are also lurking in the background for their professional chance, which is now getting smaller due to the deal with the still Hoffenheimer.
