One of the most sought after brakes in Europe in the last year has decided on its next destination. During the evening (Friday) there were reports in France, mainly on RMC (Radio Monte Carlo) and in L’Equipe, that Dayo Opmecano has chosen to move to Bayern Munich next season. Later the club’s sporting director, Hassan Slihemjidic, confirmed the news, and the German champions are expected to pay his release clause in order to bring him from Leipzig.

Various reports have stated that the Frenchman, who has gained full interest in a few big clubs in Europe and has even received offers from Liverpool and Chelsea, has finally decided to close in the ranks of the team that recently won the Club World Cup, and in fact the parties have reached an understanding. Now it is up to Bayern to pay for him, with his release clause amounting to about 42 million euros.

Sliha Hamidzic confirmed: “We are very happy with this conclusion. We had excellent and professional talks with Dayo and his agent for several months. We knew we had tough competition for him, he is a young and quality player who is still developing. We saw him in our vision that he will do. “A career at Bayern. In the last week I talked to all the parties involved once again, and at the end of the long process the player was convinced, together with his family, that Bayern is the best partner for them. He will play for us for the next five years.”

When he arrives, the brakeman will join the Bavarians’ big French tally, which includes Benjamin Favre, Luca Hernandez, Kingsley Coman and Corentin Tolisso. Opmecano is only 22 years old, but has already become a very hot name in world football. He started his senior career in the Austrian Red Bull Salzburg (with which he won two doubles) and moved to Leipzig in the middle of the 2016/17 season.
