Should also take a very close look with his team in England’s junior league: Hasan Salihamidzic (r.), FC Bayern’s sports director
Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund is apparently facing competition in advertising for a new offensive talent from England. No less a person than Bayern should now also show interest in signing the young Reyes Cleary.
BVB, TSG Hoffenheim and second division FC Schalke 04 are looking very closely at 17-year-old Reyes Cleary, as the English “Daily Mail” reported at the end of September. The attacker is under contract with West Bromwich Albion, where he will be deployed for the U18 and U23 teams.
The newspaper now reports that FC Bayern has also become aware of the striker and has already taken concrete steps. Scouts from Munich watched Cleary in the U23 game against Stoke City (1: 1) at the end of October. The attacker did not score a goal, but his quota in the junior division is more than presentable: the offensive player scored ten goals in six games in the U18 Premier League South – spread over five double packs. For the U23 he shot three times in six games.
Newcastle want to bring together England’s top talent
The junior player is also of interest to clubs from Germany because he has not yet signed a professional contract. West Bromwich Albion is determined to change this fact, but given the attention from abroad this endeavor is becoming more and more difficult, according to the report. The “Baggies” are likely to cite as an argument that the development opportunities and chances of playing with the second division are much higher than with the addresses from the Bundesliga.
Cleary should meanwhile not only have options among the clubs of the national leagues. The newly rich Premier League club Newcastle United is also said to have kept an eye on the attacker. The current table-19. of the House of Lords have made it their mission to have the best young players on the island in their ranks in the future. Crystal Palace has long since expressed interest.
