FC Bayern's season so far has been disappointing. Now the club is looking towards England. A young talent attracts attention.
Munich – FC Bayern is apparently planning to strengthen its squad for the coming season. According to a report from
t-online,
there is interest in a promising talent from England. 18-year-old Archie Gray from Leeds United is the focus of Bayern.
FC Bayern is apparently targeting England's jewel
Gray, who was originally trained as a central midfielder, currently often plays as a right-back, which Bayern are considering as a potential reinforcement. FC Bayern's scouts were even present at the game between Leeds and Hull City to observe Gray more closely, as
Sport Bild
reports.
Bayern could make a change in the squad next summer, as the season so far has been disappointing and there are obvious personnel gaps. Sports director Max Eberl is probably targeting an FC Bayern wing duo.

FC Bayern is vying for England talent - there is talk of well-known competition and high transfer fees
According to
t-online,
the young Englishman could be a potential reinforcement for the club. In addition to FC Bayern, other top clubs such as Real Madrid, Liverpool FC, Manchester City and Newcastle United are also interested in Gray, as
Sport Bild
has learned.
Gray, who only extended his contract with Leeds United until 2028 at the beginning of the year, is seen as a promising talent. According to the report, the potential transfer fee for Gray is between €45 million and €60 million, showing that he is a sought-after player in the transfer market. Despite interest from other big clubs, there is a possibility that FC Bayern could sign him for the coming season.

FC Bayern is probably concerned with the Gray transfer
However, the fact that Gray does not fit the type of player Bayern are usually looking for could make the transfer difficult, according to
t-online
. Joshua Kimmich is currently on the right side of defense. However, due to his young age and potential, Bayern could be willing to pay a high transfer fee to sign Gray.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops and whether Bayern will increase their efforts to secure the young Englishman. Only recently did FC Bayern apparently court an English “prodigy” – he is considered the next Jack Grealish.
