According to consistent reports, Bayern Munich has finalized its next new signing by securing the permanent transfer of former loan player Bara Sapoko Ndiaye.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on the completion of the deal on Sunday evening.

Pay-TV broadcaster Sky followed up on Monday with its own information. According to Sky, a transfer fee of at least three to four million euros will flow to Gambinos Stars Africa.

The football academy from Gambia has been cooperating with Red&Gold Football since 2023, a joint venture between Bayern Munich and MLS club Los Angeles FC.

Ndiaye is set to receive a contract with Bayern Munich through 2031. The 18-year-old midfielder is apparently planned as a permanent part of the professional squad under manager Vincent Kompany. According to Sky, a loan to another club is not being considered.

Sporting Director Christoph Freund had already confirmed on Saturday that only "last details" needed to be clarified in the matter. He added that Ndiaye would complete performance tests the following Monday and then join the training camp at Tegernsee.

Already four competitive matches for Bayern Munich

Ndiaye had already spent the recent second half of the season on loan at Bayern Munich. He accumulated four competitive appearances under Kompany during that period. The Belgian is considered a big fan of the midfield prospect.

A squad spot in midfield also became available following Leon Goretzka's departure.

Ndiaye is Bayern Munich's third new signing this summer. Previously, the German record champions secured the services of offensive player Ismael Saibari from PSV Eindhoven and fullback Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt.

For the pair, Bayern Munich paid a transfer fee of 50 million euros each. Additional bonus payments are also possible.
