Bayern chasing Dortmund youth player (SportBild)
In some news that probably made Borussia Dortmund ecstatic, Bayern Munich is reportedly interested in BVB starlet Tobias Raschl.
Only recently it became known that record champion Bayern Munich has interest in Dortmund jewel Tobias Raschl. It is tempting for an 18-year-old, but BVB will not be defeated that fast.
Raschl, a defensive midfielder, is considered one of Dortmund’s brightest prospects and the club is well aware of the market for his talents. Sebastian Kehl, head of BVB’s licensed player division, acknowledged to Goal and SPOX (as captured by SportBild) that the club will talk to Raschl about his future.
We’ll talk to the boy about it. He will think carefully about where he is going. It would be nice to bring another player from our own ranks into the first team.
Per SportBild, Bayern is not the only club interested in Raschl, whose contract expires this summer.
Raschl is one of the most sought-after young talents in Germany. In addition to Bayern, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen are tuned into the Dortmund U19 captain. But, BVB head coach Lucien Favre is a big Raschl fan and took the U19 player to winter training camp. There have already been discussions between manager Michael Zorc and the consultants of Raschl because his contract expires in the summer.
Sarri kept Hudson-Odoi in the stands and was embarrassed by The Cherries (We Ain’t Got No History)
Bournemouth dealt Chelsea a stunning — and humiliating — 4-0 defeat yesterday. Bayern transfer target Callum Hudson-Odoi did not have a part to play in the loss, however, as he watched the games from the stands.
Maurizio Sarri had this to say about Hudson-Odoi after the game, according to Goal:
He played three days ago. There was Willian [in the starting XI], so I had only one winger on the bench. We have four wingers, one had to be in the stands.
SportBild’s Christian Falk reiterated that Hudson-Odoi’s absence from the lineup meant nothing for Bayern:
Hudson-Odoi has to stay at @ChelseaFC this Winter. that he was not nominated for the squad yesterday is not a a sign for a Transfer to @FCBayern
