Sporting director confirms: Bayern were still after this striker | OneFootball

According to consistent media reports, FC Bayern has been looking at numerous offensive players in the final stages of the transfer window. Now, Jacob Larsen, sporting director of FC Midtjylland, has confirmed the record champion’s interest in Franculino Djú.

In the final moments of the transfer window, Munich managed to strengthen their attack with the signing of Nicolas Jackson. Prior to that, numerous names were circulating around the German record champion. Among them: center forward Franculino Djú.

According to the Danish sports portal Bold, FC Bayern inquired about Djú at Midtjylland on deadline day. The German record champion initially wanted to sign the 21-year-old attacker on loan, but the Danes immediately rejected the offer.

Jacob Larsen, sporting director of FC Midtjylland, confirms that Bayern tried to sign Djú: “There were some big clubs interested in him. We have to admit that. We didn’t accept anything, but there was definitely interest. Bayern Munich was one of several clubs. That’s true,” he explained to Viaplay.

Djú would have fit Bayern’s profile

The 21-year-old is one of the most eye-catching attacking players in the Danish league. In the 2024/25 season, he scored 16 competitive goals for Midtjylland, eleven of them in the league. His start to the new season is also impressive: after six league matches, he already has eight goals and three assists. The Guinea-Bissau international is under contract in Denmark until 2029. His current market value is 13 million euros.

In the end, however, Bayern managed to make a breakthrough with Nicolas Jackson. The 24-year-old will wear the number 11 shirt for the German champions. Jackson’s camp pushed for days for the move to the Bavarian capital. Max Eberl also worked intensively on the transfer. After the international break, Jackson is already expected to be in the squad.
