Breaking news: Bayern Munich move for player released by Benfica | OneFootball

News on the last day of the transfer market: Bayern Munich has already identified the target they want to sign to fill one of the open spots in their attack. According to reports, the Bavarian team is closely following the situation of Franculino Djú, a player who was developed by Benfica, but ended up being released by Rui Costa.

The information comes from journalist Matteo Moretto, who states that Vincent Kompany’s team is very interested in the young forward who has been making a name for himself at Midtjylland, one of Denmark’s most well-known clubs. The player headed to northern Europe after a brief stint with the Eagles, between 2019 and 2023.

The press reports that the Bavarian giant intends to sign Djú on loan, with an option to buy later.

In Benfica’s youth ranks, Franculino Djú - currently valued at 13 million euros - played 42 matches for the juniors, where he scored 33 goals and provided two assists. In his last season wearing the Eagles’ shirt, with the under-23s, he played 16 games and found the net 13 times. The killer instinct was always there, but, due to disagreements between Rui Costa and Cátio Baldé, the player’s former agent, the president of Benfica decided to let the striker leave on a free transfer.
