Bayern Munich are expected to sign a new winger, either in the January window or next summer, and several names have been linked with a move already.
One of the players who is of interest to Bayern is Antonio Nusa, who has impressed heavily at RB Leipzig in the past 15 months.

Bayern were heavily linked with a move for JJ Gabriel of Manchester United, but the youngster has decided to join Real Madrid instead.

Christian Falk has exclusively told CFBayern Insider that Bayern had shown interest in Nusa during the summer window.
Max Eberl really likes the player and would love to bring him to Bayern.
The Bavarian giants are looking for a back-up for Luis Diaz in the left-wing role, but Nusa would provide direct competition to the Colombian.
Falk said: “It is TRUE: Antonio Nusa was on Bayern’s radar in the summer.Max Eberl loves this player and would really like to bring him to Bayern Munich. As I mentioned, Bayern were looking for a potential backup option to Luis Diaz, but Nusa is no “backup”. He wants frequent game time in the starting XI. Also, it’s worth noting that RB Leipzig paid €21m [£17.5m] for the Norway international; great business it has to be said. However, if Bayern Munich are at the table, €21m will not be enough. I heard that there were talks in the range of €50m-60m [£41.6m-50m].

“This would have been too much for a backup signing. So, I don’t think there’s a chance to bring Nusa to Munich next summer but in the end you have to see what happens with the other players. We’ve mentioned players who are two or three years younger and can develop. But if it doesn’t work out, like with JJ Gabriel, perhaps Nusa can come up in conversation again. Of course, negotiations between RB Leipzig are Bayern Munich typically difficult and expensive! So, I’m not sure if it will work.“

The 21-year-old joined RB Leipzig in the summer of 2024, and has made 85 appearances for the club, scoring 16 goals across all competitions.
Usually, he plays on the left, but can also play on the right and through the middle, and his versatility could be an asset for Vincent Kompany.
Nusa has a contract at Leipzig until 2029, and Falk has suggested that it will not be easy for Bayern to negotiate deals in their favour with their Bundesliga rivals.
