Premier League rivals circle: Bayern target in high demand | OneFootball

FC Bayern continues to seek reinforcements for the offensive line – and apparently has a particular Danish striking talent in sight: Franculino Dju from FC Midtjylland. However, the Munich team faces competition from England.

As reported by the British Sun, FC Everton is serious about signing the 21-year-old center forward in the winter. Coach David Moyes is said to be a great admirer of the striker. No wonder: With only twelve goals after eleven Premier League games, the traditional club is suffering from massive offensive problems – striker Beto has been waiting for a goal for eight games.

Already in the summer, the German record champion had intensely engaged with the lightning-fast left-footer. According to information from the Danish portal bold.dk, a scout from FC Bayern was recently present at the league match between Midtjylland and Aarhus GF in the stadium – and saw Franculino score again. The striker now stands at 13 goals in 13 league games – an impressive record that has long put him on the radar of numerous top clubs.

Coach Mike Tullberg, who once served at Borussia Dortmund, reacted with humor to the rumors about his top striker after the game: “No, not at all. He will stay here. I told the club that I want to keep my players. There are no FCM players who will move to Bayern Munich – if they leave us, they go to Dortmund,” Tullberg said with a smile.

Sports director Jacob Larsen confirmed the interest of several top clubs: “There were some big clubs in the game, we have to say. FC Bayern is one of several – that is probably correct.”

Franculino dreams of the big stage

The striker, born in Guinea-Bissau and bound to Midtjylland until 2029, showed himself to be ambitious without pushing for an imminent departure:

“I am very happy here, but of course I dream of playing in a bigger league one day. I want to play in LaLiga and win the Champions League.”

Besides Bayern and Everton, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and Bayer Leverkusen are also said to have an eye on the exceptional Danish talent. However, a signing in January is considered unlikely – Midtjylland has recently shown little willingness to negotiate, especially regarding loan offers with purchase options.
