In their search for a new striker, three Bundesliga clubs have reportedly become aware of a Chilean talent. A competition is looming between VfB Stuttgart, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Werder Bremen.
As the portal “fussball.news” reports with reference to its own information, VfB Stuttgart, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Werder Bremen are all vying for the 18-year-old Damián Pizarro from the Chilean record champions Colo-Colo.
The topic could be particularly hot among Bremen. The current table 13th. The Bundesliga is threatened with the loss of Rafael Borré in the winter, who is said to be about to move to Brazil. Pizarro could follow in the Colombian’s footsteps on the Weser.
VfB Stuttgart is also threatened with a striker leaving
However, VfB Stuttgart is also threatened with a striker discussion in the next few weeks. The Swabians could lose top scorer Serhou Guirassy prematurely and in this case they would urgently need a replacement. In the surprise team of the Bundesliga season so far, Pizarro could join Deniz Undav, who would become the new number one in the attack after Guirassy’s departure.
The Gladbachers could also use an accurate striker in the future. As for the foals, it is still unclear how long Alassane Pléa will stay. The Frenchman’s contract expires in 2025, and speculation about his departure was last reported last summer – once again.
Pizarro joined the national team at the age of 18
Pizarro proved that he knows where the goal is in the Chilean league last season. There he was the record champions’ most successful striker with seven goals in 22 appearances.
He was rewarded for his leap in performance in mid-November when the 18-year-old was called up to the Chilean senior national team for the first time. In the World Cup qualifier against Paraguay (0-0) he was on the pitch for more than 90 minutes.
