Bayern comeback? The truth behind the Yildiz rumours | OneFootball

The recurring speculation about a return of Kenan Yildiz to FC Bayern is now finally off the table. According to the BILD podcast “Bayern Insider,” the Munich club is neither currently nor prospectively interested in the Juventus Turin attacking player.

As BILD football chief Christian Falk and reporter Tobi Altschäffl emphasize in the podcast, the rumors about an alleged Bayern interest “have no basis.” “That is not true,” Falk stated unequivocally.

Previously, Turkish media had reported that the German record champions were considering a return of their former youth talent. According to BILD information, however, this is completely out of the question.

FC Bayern has not made contact with the player’s side and has not held any internal discussions about a possible signing.

Too expensive and no sporting need

A key reason: the financial dimension. “He has a contract until 2029, is supposed to cost 90 million – that rules Bayern out,” said Falk in the Bayern Insider podcast.

There is also no sporting need. The record champions are already well stocked in attack. Coach Vincent Kompany is also increasingly relying on talents like Lennart Karl and Wisdom Mike, who play in similar positions.

Another winger would only intensify the already high level of competition – and that with an investment that would hardly be compatible with Bayern’s current transfer strategy.

A painful but closed case

Yildiz’s departure from Munich in the summer of 2022 was a painful loss at the time. The homegrown player moved to Juventus Turin on a free transfer, where he has since made it into Turkey’s senior national team.

Despite this development, FC Bayern has no intention of bringing back the lost son. “It would be an extreme admission of error to now pay a lot of money for a player you trained yourself,” explains Altschäffl.
