FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are constantly battling it out in the transfer market for Europe’s most promising talents. According to the latest reports, the two Bundesliga rivals could now be competing once again – this time for a young Italian striker
According to Italian transfer insider Nicolo Schira, both FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are interested in the young attacker Anthony Tagliente from Parma Calcio. The 17-year-old is considered one of the most exciting attacking talents of his age in his home country
Tagliente’s name is still hardly known outside Italy, but the young striker is already attracting the attention of scouts from top European clubs
Parma talent causes a stir
Tagliente is currently playing for Parma’s U17 and U18 teams and has quickly come to the fore there. This season, the Italian junior international has scored nine goals in 14 appearances – a rate that has also been registered internationally
The attacker can be deployed flexibly and can play as a classic center forward or as a hanging striker. It is precisely this versatility that makes him interesting for many clubs
In addition to FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, Juventus Turin are also said to be keeping a close eye on the young Italian, hinting at potential competition for the talented striker at an early stage
Bayern thinking long-term at striker
However, it remains to be seen how concrete FC Bayern’s interest is at the moment. What is clear, however, is that Tagliente would not be immediately earmarked for the first team in the event of a transfer. Rather, it would be a classic transfer for the future
Munich are increasingly thinking long-term, particularly in the center of attack. Harry Kane is still the undisputed fixture in the attack, but the question of a successor solution arises
In this context, Bayern are regularly monitoring young attackers on the international market. Talents such as Tagliente could be developed step by step in the coming years.
