NEWS IN – Bayern Munich now trying to hijack ‘very strong’ 19-year-old star who’s close to agreeing personal terms with Tottenham [Full story link in comment]
After all the recent competition between the clubs, Bayern Munich are now said to be interested in a player linked with Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs were locked into negotiations with Bayen all last summer for Harry Kane, a deal they simply wouldn’t give up on.
And when Bayern announced late interest in Radu Dragusin in January, everyone at Tottenham must have feared the worst.
Thankfully for Spurs, the Romanian decided that his future belonged in North London, where he believed he had more chances of playing first team football.
Of course, given Micky van de Ven’s latest injury, he’s already been thrust into the eleven in important games.
All that being said, both Tottenham and Bayern could now be set to compete for 19-year-old centre-back Mikayil Faye this summer.
The Barcelona defender was recently linked with a move to Spurs, and journalist Santi Aouna has now confirmed that Bayern have joined the list of clubs who are monitoring the young talent.
Ange Postecoglou recently admitted that he still wanted to sign another centre-back for his squad, and Faye therefore could be that profile.

Judging by Aouna’s update, which he shared on X, it seems competition could be rife for the ‘very strong’ defender.
Although not currently playing in Barcelona’s first team, Faye is showing a ton of potential, leading clubs to think they may be able to prize the youngster away.
Aouna shared the latest: “A lot of big clubs, including Bayern Munich, are monitoring closely the situation of Mikayil Faye. They consider him as an exciting player
“Last winter, Barcelona have rejected formal bid from Girona, Alaves and Lens.”
“Lens could come back next summer.”

Of course, Barcelona may have an idea of keeping Faye around themselves, but there doesn’t currently seem to be the first team path or role needed for a player of his calibre.
Incidentally, Faye did just make his international debut for Senegal, scoring against Gabon in a friendly.
And with both Bayern and Tottenham interested, Faye doesn’t seem as if he’ll be playing youth football for too much longer.
That being said, one player linked with a move to Tottenham is now leading the way in Europe.
