Professional debut at 1. FC Köln, move to BVB II, breakthrough at SC Paderborn and finally became a German national football player in the ranks of VfB Stuttgart and a serious candidate for participation in the home European Championship. Chris Führich didn’t have the steepest climb, but he did have an impressively steady climb. A circumstance that is also said to have brought the competition onto the scene. After there was already talk of a return to Borussia Dortmund, FC Bayern is now said to be interested.
FC Bayern has its eye on Chris Führich from VfB Stuttgart. This is what “Bild” football director Christian Falk reports.
Accordingly, the 26-year-old has a contract in the country until the summer of 2028. However, the contract should contain an exit clause of up to 23.5 million euros, which enables an early departure. Führich should be particularly interesting for the Munich team because he represents a possible alternative to Leroy Sané.
Sané’s contract ends in 2025, and no agreement has yet been reached on an extension. With Führich as a potential alternative, FC Bayern should also believe it has a better negotiating position in the upcoming talks with Sané.
FC Bayern observes Führich: Rumor causes discussion
Curious: A discussion broke out around the rumor on the short message service “X”. “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg commented on Falk’s contribution and pointed out that “Sky” published the story on Monday.
Accordingly, a fixed transfer fee of 20 million euros is currently realistic. Discussions have already taken place, but the topic is not particularly hot at the moment.
Other clubs would also show more interest. Bayer Leverkusen and BVB are specifically mentioned.
Regardless of which media first threw the hat into the ring, Chris Führich’s future is likely to make some headlines.
