Bayern Munich consider sensational Loris Karius swoop in post-Manuel Neuer goalkeeper overhaul

Bayern Munich are reportedly targeting the signing of Antonio Nusa, a highly-rated winger currently playing for RB Leipzig. Bundesliga insider Christian Falk revealed that Max Eberl, Bayern's manager, has shown significant interest in the 21-year-old Norwegian, with Eberl stating that he would love to bring Nusa to the Allianz Arena.

The Bavarian giants are looking for a reliable backup option to Luis Diaz in the left-wing position, but Bayern's interest in Nusa goes beyond that. Nusa, who has impressed heavily over the past 15 months at Leipzig, is not seen as a mere backup by Eberl; he desires regular game time in the starting XI.

Initially, Bayern were linked with a move for JJ Gabriel of Manchester United, but the teenager opted to join Real Madrid instead. Nusa, on the other hand, has a contract at Leipzig until 2029, making a move to Bayern a challenging prospect. Bayern reportedly offered €21m (£17.5m) for Nusa, which is a significant sum for a backup player, as Leipzig paid only €21m (£17.5m) for the Norwegian international.

Reports suggest that Bayern's interest in Nusa would likely exceed €50m (£41.6m), meaning the transfer could be out of reach for the club. While younger players who can develop within the next few years might be more appealing to Bayern, the possibility of Nusa joining the team cannot be entirely ruled out. However, considering the difficulty and expense of negotiating deals in their favour with Leipzig, a transfer is not considered highly probable at this stage.
