FC Bayern is on the verge of signing Nathaniel Brown. But although the Munich club is reportedly already in broad agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt and the player, the transfer has not yet been officially finalized. Two top English clubs apparently want to take advantage of exactly that.
Nathaniel Brown is one of the big winners of the past few months. The 22-year-old had a strong season with Eintracht Frankfurt, made the leap to the German national team, and has now also demonstrated his enormous potential at the World Cup.
In the DFB team’s 7-1 opening victory against Curaçao, Brown was one of the most standout players on the field. With a goal and an assist, the left-back delivered the perfect showcase for his upcoming move to FC Bayern.
At Säbener Straße, the performance was watched with great satisfaction. After all, the Munich club has been working for weeks to sign the DFB star.
Arsenal and Manchester United sense their chance
However, the transfer has not yet been officially completed. That is precisely why several Premier League clubs are apparently hoping for a surprise turnaround.
As reported by the English website Football London, Arsenal continues to be actively pursuing Brown and is even said to be considering a last-minute offer.
Manchester United, too, is reportedly not giving up yet. According to information from TEAMtalk, the Red Devils are also hoping to turn the deal in their favor just before it is finalized.
Both clubs have been tracking the fullback’s progress for quite some time and see him as an interesting addition for the future.
Despite the reports from England, there is currently no cause for concern in Munich. According to consistent reports, FC Bayern and Eintracht Frankfurt have already reached a basic agreement on a total package worth around 55 million euros. Only the final details regarding the structure of the deal—comprising a fixed sum and bonus payments—are said to still be pending.
Far more important, however, is the player’s own stance.
Brown has already given FC Bayern his commitment and is said to have clearly expressed his desire to move to Munich internally. The German national team player sees the record champions as the ideal next step in his career.
Kompany played a decisive role
Vincent Kompany is said to have been a key factor in Brown’s decision. The Bayern coach is considered a strong advocate of the transfer and is said to have personally made a concerted effort to recruit the 22-year-old. Added to this are the sporting prospects offered to him in Munich.
Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Brown has a very good chance of earning a starting spot at left back. It is precisely this prospect that makes FC Bayern particularly attractive to the national team player.
Meanwhile, his strong performance against Curaçao has once again highlighted why Bayern is willing to invest a record sum for a German full-back.
Brown impressed both offensively and defensively, demonstrating the dynamism, intensity, and versatility that Kompany needs in his game.
That’s why the situation remains clear despite the English competition: Arsenal and Manchester United may still hope to derail the transfer. As things stand, however, almost everything points to Nathaniel Brown soon wearing the FC Bayern jersey.
