Bayern Munich prodigy seen as Tillman successor at PSV | OneFootball

Bayern Munich’s Paul Wanner is being strongly linked with PSV. The Dutch champions reportedly see the 19-year-old Bayern midfielder as a potential replacement for Malik Tillman, who moved to Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer.

Following Tillman’s departure, PSV considered Sven Mijnans, but AZ refused to co-operate on a transfer. Now, the Eindhoven side has shifted attention to Wanner, according to the Eindhovens Dagblad. The promising German player still has two years left on his contract with Bayern Munich and played in the U21 European Championship this summer.

Last season, Wanner was on loan at FC Heidenheim. In 29 league matches, the ever-improving creative midfielder scored three goals and provided two assists for the relegation-threatened side. In fact, Heidenheim only saved their Bundesliga status in the play-offs, and a two-legged victory against Elversberg.

The likelihood of an out-and-out transfer seems slim. However, Bayern are reportedly open to another loan deal for the teenager. PSV are following their interest in Wanner from last summer, where a deal failed to materialise.
