While the fight for the championship rages on in the Bundesliga, FC Bayern is already planning for the future in the background. According to a report, Munich would like to use an archrival.
In the U19 Bundesliga South/Southwest, storm talent Can Uzun from 1. FC Nürnberg has attracted attention with 15 goals and five assists in just 15 appearances. Clubs from Germany and abroad should try to attract the 17-year-old.
According to “Bild”, in addition to the Turkish top club Galatasaray, FC Bayern is also among the group of applicants for the teenager, whose current working paper is valid until 2026.
Those responsible for the record champions around campus boss Halil Altintop are said to have even asked FCN about Uzun. According to reports, a seven-digit fee would be due.
Should the courted youngster decide to move to Säbener Straße, the club supporters would certainly be anything but enthusiastic. There has been a great rivalry between FC Bayern and 1. FC Nürnberg for decades, and the fan camps are considered enemies.
Hecking lets Uzun fidget – FC Bayern as a beneficiary?
The Franks still hope to be able to convince Uzun to stay. The diamond in the rough is currently training with the professionals again, he was already there at the winter training camp in Belek and showed promising approaches there.
Nevertheless, coach Dieter Hecking has not yet let the attacker range in the 2nd Bundesliga. His reasoning in the “Bild”: “Can is a really good footballer, but he still lacks the intensity because he is hardly challenged in youth football. There he stands out with less effort due to his individual quality. He is now noticing with the professionals that everything is faster and more dynamic. That’s why he’s with us, because we want to show him what he might still be missing.”
So Uzun will have to be patient – a situation that could definitely play into FC Bayern’s hands…
