Wonderkid in the spotlight: Bayern tracking Hertha gem Yunus Ünal | OneFootball

Hertha BSC could lose its next big talent. The 17-year-old Yunus Ünal is currently impressing with strong performances in the U19 and U23 of the Berliners - and is now apparently in the focus of several top clubs, including FC Bayern.

Ünal is currently in outstanding form: Four goals in the last three games for the U19 and three goals in three matches for the U23 speak for themselves. This rate did not go unnoticed nationwide. As the BILD reports, scouts from Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, VfB Stuttgart, Werder Bremen, and FC Bayern have already observed the youngster several times.

The German junior national player is mainly used on the wing positions at Hertha - both defensively and offensively. With his versatility and finishing strength, he brings exactly those qualities that make him interesting for top clubs.

Contract situation is explosive

Especially explosive: Ünal's contract with the "Old Lady" only runs until the summer of 2026. If Hertha fails to extend the contract prematurely, the offensive player could change clubs without a transfer fee. Given the financial situation of the capital club, a free transfer would be a severe setback.

Coach Stefan Leitl is aware of the potential of the homegrown player - and is already raving. During the summer preparation, he let Ünal participate with the professionals. In the 6:2 test match victory against Hertha Zehlendorf, the youngster scored himself and set up another goal. Leitl praised afterwards: "Great! The boy really did well."

Ünal is one of the most exciting talents in German youth football. Hertha BSC is now under pressure to bind the 17-year-old to the club in the long term. Because with Bayern and other top teams, who have the youngster already on their radar, it could be difficult for the Berliners to keep their jewel.
