Bayern and BVB in transfer duel over England jewel | OneFootball

FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are apparently engaged in a parallel race on the transfer market, with both clubs having set their sights on a record-breaking English talent

FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are always pursuing similar strategies on the international transfer market – especially when it comes to exceptional talents. This pattern seems to be confirmed once again at the moment. The focus is on Jeremy Monga, a winger from England who is already regarded as one of the greatest young talents of his age group. And according to the latest reports, both Munich and BVB have already made their first moves

As the TEAMtalk portal reports, Bayern and Dortmund are said to have held talks with the player’s entourage. The focus is less on specific contract details and more on making their presence felt early on and positioning themselves in the narrow circle of interested parties. Because one thing is clear: anyone who is late to Monga’s game is likely to come away empty-handed

Bayern and BVB face international heavyweights

The challenge for the two Bundesliga clubs is enormous. Monga is not only on the radar of Bayern and Dortmund, but has long since attracted the interest of Europe’s elite. Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus Turin are also said to have had intensive discussions with the player’s entourage

In addition, almost all of the Premier League’s top clubs, including Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United, and Manchester City have also been repeatedly linked with the youngster in the past

In this environment, it is clear that it will be difficult for Leicester City to keep its jewel for the long term. The club is aware of the player’s value, but also of the reality of the market. Monga is still under contract, but the enormous interest means that his future is already being discussed intensively. The player himself is not expected to make a decision until early 2026. There is no clear trend so far

Monga is on everyone’s lips for a reason. The attacking player made headlines a few months ago when he equalled – or even beat – a record set by Jude Bellingham. At just 16 years and 37 days old, Monga scored his first goal in the Championship, making him the youngest goalscorer in league history. Bellingham had once set this record at the age of 16 years and 63 days

But that was not all: just a few days earlier, Monga had already set an internal club milestone when he became the youngest starting eleven player in Leicester City’s history in the League Cup. A 59-year-old record fell – a clear sign of the confidence the club already has in its exceptional talent

For FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, Monga fits the bill perfectly. Both clubs have made a name for themselves in recent years as forges for the development of top young players. While Dortmund repeatedly hand over responsibility early on, Bayern score points with sporting prospects at the highest level and international appeal

It remains to be seen whether one of these arguments will ultimately be the deciding factor, but one thing is certain: the race for Jeremy Monga is on – and it will be one of the most exciting talent duels of the coming months.
