Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting faces an uncertain future at FC Bayern. The attacker is said to arouse great interest in Saudi Arabia.
Choupo-Moting only has a contract with FC Bayern until the end of the season. As “Sky” reports, an extension is currently unlikely.
The center forward obviously doesn’t lack options. There are said to be “many interested parties in Saudi Arabia” for Choupo-Moting, according to the TV station. The 34-year-old is probably open to a move to the desert state.
Choupo-Moting reportedly wants to stay at FC Bayern until the end of the season. It is said that the veteran has not considered saying goodbye in the winter.
According to Sky, Choupo-Moting earns over ten million euros gross per year for the German record champions. The Hamburg native usually plays as a joker under head coach Thomas Tuchel. Choupo-Moting has contributed three goals in 16 competitive appearances so far this season.
Is Choupo-Moting leaving FC Bayern?
Last season the attacker played an even bigger role. Shortly before, Robert Lewandowski had left the club for FC Barcelona. Choupo-Moting scored 17 goals and earned a new contract at Säbener Straße.
However, since Harry Kane’s arrival in the summer, FC Bayern’s offensive hierarchy has shifted. The record newcomer is set, with Choupo-Moting acting as a backup. However, the two center forwards have also played together for FC Bayern – as happened in the 1-0 away win against 1. FC Köln.
It is still unclear what will happen next summer for the 73-time Cameroon international. According to Sky, a change of scenery is currently the most realistic scenario. The collaboration with FC Bayern could then end after four years.
