Bayern Munich have not closed the door on 20-year-old midfielder Maurice Krattenmacher after his move to Elversberg, with a buy-back clause leaving a future return possible.

Abendzeitung reports that Bayern’s hierarchy, along with head coach Vincent Kompany, are monitoring his development closely.

Krattenmacher recently impressed against his former club and drew praise from Bayern sporting director Max Eberl after scoring on Sunday.

“Of course, it’s every young player’s dream to play for FC Bayern,” he said recently.

While leaving the door open, he stressed that consistent minutes and progression come first. “I think sometimes you have to take what may seem like a step backwards in order to then take two steps forward,” Krattenmacher added.
