Now Bayern have finally gotten the deal done!
BILD had already reported in the summer that the record champions were working on signing one of the greatest midfield talents. Javier Fernández Gonzalez (16) has now signed at the youth campus in Munich.
The Spanish junior international comes from Atlético Madrid and will receive a contract from January 2023!
NLZ boss Jochen Sauer (50): “We have worked long and hard towards this commitment, so we are very pleased to have convinced this great talent to join FC Bayern.”
According to BILD information, Bayern has been digging at Javi Fernández for months. The youth department of sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (45) ultimately prevailed against the European competition.
Campus manager Sauer: “He is one of the most promising midfield talents of his year. He combines technical potential with physical presence and game intelligence. We are convinced that Javi will continue his ambitious and goal-oriented development with us.”
The Spain jewel was trained at Atlético Madrid for five years. Previously he was in the youth team of Celta Vigo. Now the move to Munich – with the announcement of the deal on his 16th birthday!
Midfield talent Javier Fernández Gonzalez will move to Bayern Munich on January 1, 2023
Javi Fernandez: “I’ve had a wonderful time at Atleti, now I’m really looking forward to taking my next steps at one of the biggest clubs in the world.”
For the beginning, Fernández is probably planned for the U19. On the Bayern campus he meets another Spaniard who came to Munich this season: Adam Aznou (16)!
Despite mega parades This BANGER amazes even summer!
Luring the Spaniard with Moroccan roots to Bayern was also a masterstroke by the Bayern bosses. The winger from Spain’s U17s came from FC Barcelona’s U16s and signed a contract until 2025. Aznou has made eight U17 games for the record champions so far (one goal, one assist).
Before Fernández and Aznou, Danish jewel Jonathan Asp Jensen (16/FC Midtjylland), Switzerland’s Gabriel Gonzalez (16/FC Aarau), Italian Manuel Pisano (16/Juventus Turin) and US talent Robert Deziel jr. (17/Celta Vigo).
Bavaria is now attracting the big European talents to Munich very early on!
