Bundesliga clubs chase Bayern jewel Chris Richards

Chris Richards from Bayern Amateurs arouses interest at home and abroad. The future of the defender also depends on coach Hansi Flick.

• Chris Richards (20) has made a big leap in performance over the past few months.
• Clubs from home and abroad are said to be interested in the defender of FC Bayern Munich 2 .
• The future of the American also depends on Hansi Flick's possible continued employment.

Munich - Talents work well on the Bayern campus : Alphonso Davies (19) was an integral part of the starting eleven of the pros until the Corona mandatory break, Joshua Zirkzee (18) recommended Robert-Lewandowski as a back-up and Adrian Fein (21) will return to Bayern in the summer after his strong season as an HSV loan player .

Chris Richards: Now also interest from the Bundesliga

No wonder that numerous Bavaria jewels are hotly traded on the transfer market - like Chris Richards (20). The American is on the wish list for the Premier League top clubs FC Chelsea and Arsenal, according to the English newspaper Mirror. At FC Bayern , those responsible know about the interest of these top European clubs.

According to tz information, some Bundesliga clubs are also interested in Richards . No wonder: the central defender is an absolute top performer in the U 23 of the record champions . Richards has an enormous athleticism and speed in the start and in the top speed. At an early age, his training club FC Dallas , as is common in the USA in many sports, placed great emphasis on athletic training. In addition, the central defender, who can also play on the right in the back four, always has an extremely professional attitude.

Chris Richard's contract with FC Bayern runs until 2023

His reward: In the winter, the US youth international was allowed to travel to the training camp in Qatar with the professional team and has been training with the pros from time to time. Since Richards has a long-term contract with the German record champions until June 2023 , it is unlikely that he will be sold to another club this summer .

Richards ' perspective in the first team also depends on the position of head coach. So far it looks as if Hansi Flick has a long-term contract with the Reds. And Flick has already proven to Davies and Zirkzee that he gives young players a chance. And if not, Adrian Fein has shown that targeted lending transactions can also pave the way for the professional team. Richards ' goal is clear: he wants to play as high as possible in Europe . It was not for nothing that he broke his tents in his US home and embarked on the adventure on the Bayern campus .
