FC Bayern Munich reportedly keen on Bundesliga star despite Matthäus' skepticism
Bavarian giants said to be interested in signing Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Florian Neuhaus
Matthäus questions Neuhaus' ability to make an immediate impact at Bayern
FC Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in signing Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Florian Neuhaus, according to Sport1. However, club legend Lothar Matthäus has expressed skepticism about the move, questioning whether Neuhaus has the quality to make an immediate impact at the Allianz Arena.
Neuhaus has been one of the most impressive young players in the Bundesliga in recent seasons, and his performances have reportedly caught the attention of Bayern Munich. The 24-year-old is a versatile midfielder who can play in a variety of positions, and he has been praised for his technical ability, passing range, and work rate.
However, Matthäus believes that Neuhaus is not yet ready to play for Bayern Munich. The former Germany international told Sky Sports: "I think Neuhaus is a very good player, but I'm not sure if he's ready for Bayern Munich. He's still young and he needs to develop more. I think he would be a better fit for a team like Borussia Dortmund or Bayer Leverkusen."
Despite Matthäus' concerns, Bayern Munich are reportedly determined to sign Neuhaus. The Bavarians are said to be willing to pay up to €40 million for the midfielder, who has a contract with Borussia Monchengladbach until 2024.
If Bayern Munich are successful in signing Neuhaus, he would become the latest in a long line of talented young players to join the club. Bayern Munich have a history of developing young players, and they have a proven track record of success in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
Neuhaus would add depth and quality to Bayern Munich's midfield, and he could be a key player for the club in the years to come. However, it remains to be seen whether he is ready to make the step up to one of the biggest clubs in the world.
