FC Bayern are apparently a decisive step closer to their next dream transfer. There are growing signs that Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt will soon reach an agreement in the Nathaniel Brown race. According to the latest reports, the two clubs are now much closer to each other in negotiations than they were just a few weeks ago
Nathaniel Brown has been one of FC Bayern’s absolute dream candidates for the coming season for weeks. The 22-year-old international is set to strengthen Munich’s left side and is seen internally as the perfect profile for Vincent Kompany’s game
While Bayern are said to have already reached an agreement in principle with the player, intensive talks have recently been underway with Eintracht Frankfurt regarding the transfer modalities. It is precisely here that significant progress now appears to have been made
As reported by BILD, a clear trend is now emerging: the transfer is set to go through
Bayern and Frankfurt are getting closer
According to the report, the talks between the two clubs are proceeding extremely constructively and the mood around Frankfurt is even similar to that before the sale of Hugo Ekitiké to Liverpool FC last summer
Even back then, there was an early feeling internally that an agreement would be reached in the end, and this scenario is now apparently also emerging with Brown
The initial situation is known: Frankfurt are demanding around 65 million euros, including possible bonus payments, for the left-back, while FC Bayern’s current offer is just over 50 million euros
Although the difference is still there, both sides do not see it as an insurmountable obstacle. Rather, the only thing that seems to be at stake at the moment is the exact structure of the package and possible bonus arrangements
Medical check even conceivable at the World Cup
What is particularly interesting is that an agreement could be reached much quicker than initially expected
According to BILD, it is even being considered to carry out the obligatory medical check during the World Cup in the USA. Brown is currently with the German national team in the World Cup quarters and could complete all examinations on site
The good relationship between those responsible at FC Bayern and Eintracht Frankfurt should help to resolve bureaucratic hurdles as easily as possible. The exchange of medical data and contract documents is not considered a problem
Frankfurt’s sporting director Markus Krösche is also said to be very interested in clarifying the situation as soon as possible. kicker recently reported that the Hessians are aiming to make a decision before Germany’s World Cup opener against Curaçao
Brown and Saibari could shape Bayern’s summer
After Ismael Saibari, Brown would be the next important building block in FC Bayern’s squad planning
While negotiations with PSV Eindhoven for Saibari have also entered the home straight, Brown could strengthen the left side in the long term and at the same time bring additional flexibility to the squad
Munich remain convinced that Brown’s dynamism, versatility and technical quality make him a perfect fit for Vincent Kompany’s system, while the international could also ease the pressure on Alphonso Davies and significantly increase competition on the left flank
There are currently many indications that the record champions could successfully conclude two important personnel deals in the coming days. In the Brown poker, there are now more and more arguments in favour of a move to Säbener Straße.
