Bayern Open Talks Over 17‑Year‑Old Wael Mahya

Preliminary contacts by Bayern sporting executives have prompted Mönchengladbach to prepare a long-term contract that could decide the midfielder’s future next summer.

Overview

  • Bayern sporting directors Max Eberl and Christoph Freund have made exploratory contact with people close to Mahya to sound out contract terms and interest.
  • Borussia Mönchengladbach are readying an improved long-term deal that would extend Mahya beyond 2028 and substantially raise his salary to strengthen their hold on the player.
  • Wael Mahya is a dual German–Moroccan midfielder born 31 December 2008 who made his Bundesliga debut before turning 17 and became Gladbach’s youngest scorer.
  • The youngster has featured seven times this season with two goals and one assist according to official Bundesliga statistics, which has driven interest from top clubs.
  • Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig are tracking Mahya but reporting says a winter move is unlikely and the next summer transfer window is the most probable time for a decision.
