England is eagerly awaiting a new attacking talent and the Bundesliga is also paying attention. One player is causing a sensation at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Now FC Bayern are also said to be keeping a close eye on the 18-year-old.
According to information from CaughtOffside, FC Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have been keeping a close eye on attacking midfielder Mateus Mané in recent weeks. The England U18 international is still under contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers until 2029. Should the club actually be in danger of relegation in the spring of 2026, there could be movement on the player – in February there was talk of a possible transfer fee in the region of £45 million to £50 million.
At the same time, Turkish transfer journalist Ekrem Konur also reports that several German clubs are interested in the 18-year-old. In addition to the three Bundesliga clubs, he also mentions prominent Premier League clubs and Paris Saint-Germain as interested parties. While Borussia Dortmund are said to be particularly interested, Konur initially puts FC Bayern and RB Leipzig in the observer category.
Strong numbers in the Premier League
In sporting terms, Mané has come to the fore this season. The attacking player has made 16 appearances in the Premier League so far, scoring two goals and setting up two others. He has started in each of the last ten league games, playing the full distance nine times.
The right-footed player has both English and Portuguese citizenship and is considered to be flexible in the attacking midfield. His current market value of 250,000 euros is still well below the stated demands, but is likely to be adjusted in the near future in view of his development. No concrete steps by a German club have yet been confirmed.
