"Bayern Munich's first transfer of the summer has already been confirmed and it is the return of young midfielder Noël Aséko Nkili. After an immensely successful full season on loan in the 2. Bundesliga at Hannover 96, die Sechsundneunziger (the 96ers) pulled their buy option only for the Bavarians to pull their buy back clause to see Nkili return to Munich in the summer. Given the buy back clause for the 20-year-old is said to be in the low six digit range, it was the only logical decision to make."
"The question, then, is this: Do Bayern plan to integrate Nkili into the squad or make profit off of him? Bayern #8 Leon Goretzka has already confirmed his departure, opening up space for a midfield addition. But do the Bavarians believe Nkili is the right fit? There have been reports indicating Bayern want to integrate the youngster and others suggesting Bayern are willing to sell him for a cool €12 million. But, according to Bild's Bayern-Insider podcast (as captured by @iMiaSanMia_GER), a team has already attempted to pay that amount and was firmly rejected."
"VfL Wolfsburg had offered 12 million euros for Noël Aséko in the winter, but FC Bayern turned it down. That is a commitment from FC Bayern to Aséko. Furthermore, @iMiaSanMia_GER also captures Bild's claim that head coach Vincent Kompany is determined to give him a chance: Vincent Kompany has already spoken with Noël Aséko over the phone about his role in the upcoming season. Aséko will get the chance in the summer to show what he can do and has the opportunity to work his way into the team."
Noël Aséko Nkili returns to Bayern Munich after a successful loan season in the 2. Bundesliga with Hannover 96. Hannover exercised a buy option, but Bayern used a buy-back clause to bring him back. The buy-back fee is reported to be in the low six digits. Bayern face a decision on whether to integrate Nkili into the squad or sell him for profit. Leon Goretzka’s confirmed departure may open midfield space. Reports suggest Bayern may either integrate him or sell him for about €12 million, but Wolfsburg’s €12 million winter offer was rejected. Vincent Kompany has spoken with Nkili about his role, and Nkili will be given an opportunity in the summer to earn a place.
