Bayern Munich eye future with VfB Stuttgart's Finn Jeltsch
Bayern Munich are reportedly eyeing VfB Stuttgart's 20-year-old centre-back Finn Jeltsch as a potential future defensive option, according to Sport Bild. The young defender is on the Munich club's radar for a possible move in the coming transfer windows. Currently, Bayern's central defence is well-stocked with Dayot Upamecano (27), Jonathan Tah (30), Kim Min-jae (29), and Hiroki Itō (27), but Jeltsch could be an option for 2027 or 2028.
Why is Jeltsch in focus?
Jeltsch impressed in the last season with Stuttgart and is seen as a promising talent. He stabilized a often shaky defence of the Schwaben and is also on the radar of Jürgen Klopp for the German national team. Bayern Munich see him as a player with potential who could take on a role in the team after further development.
When could the transfer happen?
With the current players in the central defence, there is no urgent need, but Bayern Munich are planning for the long term. If an opportunity arises in the next few years, Jeltsch could be an option. However, it is unclear whether the 20-year-old will still be at Stuttgart by then or if he has already moved to another club.
Current situation at Bayern Munich
Currently, Lennart Karl and Serge Gnabry are sidelined with injuries and will miss the next few games. The team is focusing on preparing for the new season and the upcoming matches. However, planning for the future remains an important aspect to ensure long-term success.
