FC Bayern made headlines with a triple change in the junior division. Because: Among the three brothers who are now moving to Munich is a young footballer who is just nine years old. Campus boss Jochen Sauer justified the change.
Aristide Hentcho Nseke, 14, is moving from 1. FSV Mainz 05 to FC Bayern with his brothers Aviel, 12, and nine-year-old Alex. Are the Munich players already recruiting footballers at a young age? Bavaria's campus manager Jochen Sauer is now trying to clarify the process.
"After our scouting department contacted the parents about Aristide's eldest son, the family emphasized that a change would only be considered if the entire family moved to Munich or switched to FCB," Sauer told Bild am Sonntag ". "From a sporting point of view, the first thing on our agenda was the transfer of the U15 player Aristide," justified the 49-year-old.
Another condition of the family: A job for the trio's father, Alex Sr. He had previously run a football school in Frankfurt, but in future he will work in Bavaria's "World Squad", the record champion's international youth camp. Meanwhile, the brothers have been causing a sensation in the youth department of FSV Mainz 05 for some time. Nine-year-old Alex is said to be the greatest talent. Videos of his dribbles have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times online, and he already has over 18,000 followers on TikTok. Like his brothers, he already has a contract with outfitter Nike.
FSV manager Christian Heidel has to watch as three top talents leave the club's own squad. "We would have liked to keep the boys, we tried everything, but the family chose Munich," the 59-year-old is quoted as saying in the tabloid. Sauer meanwhile reiterated: "Everything was very professional between the clubs." Mainz 05 "was informed at the beginning of the talks and was always involved. Together we also agreed on appropriate training compensation."
