Is a player already leaving FC Bayern in the upcoming winter transfer period? A top Italian club is said to be serious, other clubs are also interested
The winter brings movement to FC Bayern’s personnel planning – and Adin Licina is increasingly becoming the focus of top international clubs. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan are already aiming for a transfer of the 18-year-old in January
Inter Milan, Juventus, Sporting Lisbon and Real Sociedad are also said to be keeping a close eye on the youngster, according to the report. The record champions are ready for a departure, but would like to secure themselves contractually: a low transfer fee combined with a high sell-on clause or even a later buy-back option are on the table
Licina is regarded as one of the most exciting talents from the Bayern academy, but he still lacks prospects in the professional squad. It had already become known that the German U19 international no longer believes he will make it at FC Bayern in the long term. Despite being highly regarded within the club, he is aiming for the next step in his career – and that could come sooner than originally thought
Adin Licina probably wants to leave FC Bayern
The player’s entourage have been sending out clear signals for some time that he will be leaving soon. The BILD podcast„Bayern Insider“ reported that Licina wants to leave the club as early as January. The interest is enormous: in addition to clubs from Italy and Portugal, clubs from England and the Netherlands are also said to have checked whether the attacking player fits their profile. Bayern itself is in favour of the move in order to give Licina playing time at a higher level
Munich want to avoid making a mistake from previous years. Talents such as Kenan Yildiz or Angelo Stiller left the club without long-term security and developed rapidly elsewhere. This is precisely why Bayern are now working on mechanisms that will allow future control: buy-back rights, pre-emption rights or high resale shares. Licina’s current contract expires in the summer of 2026 – a winter transfer would also prevent another talent from potentially leaving on a free transfer
Licina has long since impressed at youth level. Last season, he scored ten points for the second team, scored one goal and set up five goals. He also performed well in the UEFA Youth League. However, despite his development, the coach and managers in Munich do not see a place for him in the professional squad for the time being, particularly due to the strong competition in his position.
