Dortmund in the race for Wanner: Is the next Bayern jewel coming?

FC Bayern Munich could be the focus of an exciting change of player in the upcoming transfer periods. Borussia Dortmund shows interest in Paul Wanner, a 19-year-old young player of Bayern, who is currently in loan at the 1st FC Heidenheim. Despite the fluctuating form, Wanner showed convincing services in the current season and thus aroused the interest of several clubs.

Wanner, who uses his chances in Heidenheim, could switch to Dortmund under various options. Both a fixed purchase for around 30 million euros as well as a loan or a transfer with a buyback option are considered, whereby all options are viewed critically. Dortmund may be demanding up to 100 million euros for Jamie Gitten, a 20-year-old winger who drew attention to himself with nine goals and four templates in 23 season games.

In this context, FC Bayern shows great interest in Gitten, and both coach Vincent Kompany and sports director Max Eberl are fans of the player. The market value of Gitten is estimated at around 50 million euros, and Premier League clubs such as Chelsea and Liverpool have also made an eye on him. A direct exchange between Bavaria and Dortmund has so far remained speculative, but could be an attractive solution for both sides.

Wanner showed strong performances in his loan season at Heidenheim, he achieves an average of a goal or a template every 170 minutes, which underlines its versatility. While Heidenheim is currently in 16th place in the Bundesliga, Wanner's future remains open. Bavaria pursues the goal of lending Wanner to a Champions League club, and if he does not find a regular place at Bavaria next season, another loan business could be sought. Borussia Dortmund observes the situation for Wanner exactly, but there is currently no contact or conversations. However, a long -term deal with Wanner could be discussed in the coming months because he has potential to be an alternative for Thomas Müller in the future that already played in the German national team.
