Bayern Munich enter race to sign €100 million Real Madrid target

Moussa Diaby has broken the headlines numerous times this season for his game-changing performances in the Bayer Leverkusen outfit. The German club are close to securing a Champions League spot for the coming season, and the French talent is one of the protagonists leading the charge on that front.

The 19-year-old has 15 goals and nine assists across all competitions, with a conversion rate of over 25% of the shots taken. His eye for goal, coupled with his speed dribbling down the wing, has got several European clubs interested in his signing.

Real Madrid are on the top of the list as they seek to replenish their squad in the coming summer transfer window. However, the large economic demands of Bayer Leverkusen pose a hurdle in their pursuit.

According to reports from Fichajes, Bayern Munich have now joined the race to sign Diaby. The Bavarians are on the constant lookout for Bundesliga standouts, and the teenager is the latest to catch their eye.

Bayern’s interest in Diaby is further cemented since they are at crossroads with Serge Gnabry over a new contract. The winger’s current deal clocks up in 2023, and he could potentially leave the club this summer itself.

Leverkusen ask for €100 million for their star player, a fee that is considered overexaggerated by many.

Los Blancos too consider the fee to be a figure they cannot reach, especially given that the club need to reinforce other positions too. It remains to be seen if Bayern Munich shell out the price asked. As it stands, the chances of the youngster finding a move away from his club seem slim.
