Advanced negotiations! Bayern is putting pressure on this transfer | OneFootball

As FC Bayern enter the hot phase of the season, plans for the coming summer transfer window are already underway in the background, with the club increasingly focusing on young talent – and one player in particular is currently at the center of Munich’s attention

According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the German record champions are currently working on the signing of Austrian youngster Matteo Silvio Maric from RB Salzburg. The Bavarians are said to be in advanced talks and are pushing for a quick deal

The 16-year-old midfielder is one of the most promising talents of his age group in Austria and has attracted the interest of several top European clubs

The possible signing of Maric fits in perfectly with FC Bayern’s current transfer strategy. In recent months, the record champions have repeatedly been linked with young promising players

The background: in future, Munich want to sign more talented players at an early stage and develop them into top players themselves, instead of exclusively buying expensive, established stars on the transfer market

The Bayern Campus will play a central role in this, where promising young players from all over Europe will take the next step in their development

Matteo Silvio Maric only joined RB Salzburg in the summer of 2024 and currently plays in the Austrian top club’s U18 squad

The Austrian U17 international mainly plays in central or attacking midfield and is regarded as a technically strong, intelligent player with great development potential

The fact that several top international clubs are keeping an eye on the youngster underlines his high status on the European talent market

Should the transfer go through, Maric would not initially be a candidate for FC Bayern’s professional squad. Instead, Munich are planning to use the 16-year-old at the Bayern Campus for the time being

There, the young Austrian player could be introduced to professional soccer in peace and quiet and make the leap into the extended first-team squad in the long term.
