Too little match practice: Bayern consider loan of Wisdom Mike | OneFootball

FC Bayern are thinking hard about what to do with top talent Wisdom Mike in the coming season. Despite the high regard in which the 17-year-old is held, a loan could be the next step in his development

According to Sport BILD, those responsible at Säbener Straße are considering temporarily loaning Wisdom Mike to another club in order to give him regular match practice at a high level. The background to this is not so much a lack of trust as the sporting reality at the German record champions: it is currently difficult to plan minutes in the top-class attacking area

Internally, the winger continues to enjoy a high standing. Coach Vincent Kompany is considered a great supporter of the youngster and sees him as a player who has the potential to establish himself permanently in the first team in the near future. That is precisely why a loan is seen as a sensible interim step to allow Mike to continuously gain competitive experience

FC Bayern wants to promote Wisdom Mike’s development

Wisdom Mike has already had a taste of professional football several times this season and is one of the youngest players in the club’s history to have played for the Bayern professionals. In addition to appearances in the Bundesliga and the Champions League, he has also gained match practice in the regional league and the Youth League. Despite these appearances, it is clear that constant minutes on the pitch are needed for the next stage of his development

A decision has not yet been made. FC Bayern is weighing up exactly which environment suits Mike best, both athletically and personally. However, one thing is clear: the club believes the talented attacking player will make his breakthrough in Munich in the long term – a possible loan should serve precisely this goal and not be a temporary departure without prospects.
