According to a report from Serbian outlet Telegraf (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich is eyeing versatile 17-year-old midfielder Vasilije Kostov from Red Star Belgrade.
Kostov is equally capable of playing as a central midfielder and an attacking midfielder and could be available this summer for €20 million:
Bayern have contacted Crvena zvezda and enquired about Vasilije Kostov (17/attacking/central midfielder). Kostov is considered one of the most promising talents in the country and is already a full Serbia international. Arsenal are also interested. Crvena zvezda are ready to listen to offers in the summer and want around €20m.
As always, Bayern Munich will have to fend off other deep-pocketed clubs like Arsenal if it eventually decides to formally bid on Kostov. Per CaughtOffside, Kostov has drawn comparisons to FC Barcelona star Pedri:
Arsenal are reportedly up against Bayern Munich for the potential transfer of highly-rated Serbian wonderkid Vasilije Kostov, who has drawn comparisons with Barcelona’s Pedri.
The 17-year-old attacking midfielder has already made 26 first-team appearances for Red Star Belgrade and has won cap for Serbia’s senior national team.
There is a long way between now and the summer, though, and transfer targets can change quickly. The Bavarians could see a few roster changes in the summer, but adding a midfielder will likely depend on whether or not the Bavarians feel an internal candidate is ready to replace Leon Goretzka.
Goretzka, a Germany international, is expected to leave the club when his contract expires in July.
