Bayern Munich is reportedly keen on securing the permanent transfer of 18-year-old Senegalese attacking midfielder Bara Sapoko Ndiaye.
Ndiaye initially joined the German giants on loan from Gambinos Stars Africa in January 2026 as part of Bayern’s Red&Gold Football initiative, which focuses on developing international talent. This collaboration includes a partnership with Los Angeles FC.
Before returning to Munich in January, Ndiaye underwent a trial period in the city and also spent time with Grasshoppers Zurich. During his stint in Zurich, he participated in a friendly match against a team managed by Vincent Kompany.
Following his recovery from an injury, Ndiaye made his Bundesliga debut on Matchday 29. He came on as a substitute for Jamal Musiala in Bayern’s record-breaking victory against St. Pauli.
