Noël Aséko set for Bayern return?

After delivering strong performances for Hannover 96, Noël Aséko (20) could already be on his way back to Bayern Munich. The defensive midfielder of Equatoguinean descent, currently on an 18-month loan, has made his mark in the 2. Bundesliga with 3 goals and 4 assists in 21 matches.

Hannover holds a purchase option set at 1 million euros and is expected to trigger it. However, Bayern anticipated this scenario by including a buy-back clause estimated at 2.4 million euros. According to Münchener Abendzeitung, the Bavarian club is seriously considering bringing their young talent back as early as next summer.

In Munich, Aséko is seen as a potential replacement for Leon Goretzka, whose contract is set to expire. A swift return to Bavaria is therefore a real possibility for the Germany U21 international.
