Bayern Munich 'seriously interested' in Swiss wonderkid | OneFootball

Bayern Munich have “serious interest” in Young Boys midfielder Fabian Rieder.

That’s according to Blick Sport, who report on Monday that Bayern’s chief scout Pirmin Schwegler watched Rieder during Young Boys’ 0-0 draw with Basel last week.

Real Madrid are also believed to be keeping tabs on the attacking midfielder, along with Lyon, Torino, Atalanta and Udinese.

The 20-year-old has already played 80 senior games for Young Boys and been capped by Switzerland U21s, but when asked about Bayern’s interest recently, he appeared to play it down.

“In general, this is speculation. But I think Bayern Munich is a league too high for me, or maybe two leagues,” he said.

“I know that I’m in good hands with Young Boys and that I still have a lot to improve in my game. I try to do that every day.

“You always have to see what the right step is. Bayern is one of the best teams in the world. It remains to be seen whether I would have a chance there in the next two or three years. I go from day to day and see how things go.”
