FC Bayern continues to scout promising young talent for the future. One of the players reportedly on the German record champions’ radar is Wael Mohya of Borussia Mönchengladbach. The 17-year-old attacking midfielder is one of the biggest discoveries of the current Bundesliga season. But Sky expert Dietmar Hamann, of all people, is now urgently warning the youngster against a move to Munich.

Mohya has made a name for himself at Gladbach in a very short time. With strong performances and his carefree style of play, the attacking midfielder has also piqued the interest of other clubs. FC Bayern is said to be closely monitoring his development.

For Hamann, however, it’s clear that a move to the record champions would be the wrong step at this point. The former national team player recommends that Mohya first gain more experience in the Lower Rhine region.

Hamann Warns Against a Move to Bayern

Speaking to Sky, Hamann spoke clearly about the transfer rumors surrounding Gladbach’s top talent. “I’d stay in Gladbach for another year or two. It would be too soon,” explained the 53-year-old.

Hamann bases his concerns primarily on the intense competition at FC Bayern. Young players, he says, have a particularly hard time breaking into the lineup right away in Munich.

The Sky expert therefore fears that, if Mohya makes a hasty move, he might initially get very little playing time. “If you go to Munich too soon and don’t play, you’ll be loaned out. Then it’s back and forth. It will be best for the young man to stay for another year or two.”

In doing so, Hamann addresses a fundamental problem that young talents at top European clubs often face.

While Mohya is already seeing regular playing time in Gladbach, he would have to hold his own against numerous established attacking players at FC Bayern.

Gladbach is fighting to extend Mohya’s contract

The 17-year-old’s performances to date also underscore that he is one of the most exciting young players in the Bundesliga.

In eight Bundesliga appearances, Mohya has already scored two goals and provided one assist. The attacking player has also found the back of the net in the DFB Cup.

His market value is now estimated at 17 million euros.

Borussia Mönchengladbach therefore wants to extend the youngster’s contract—which runs through 2028—as soon as possible. However, the talks are being conducted cautiously. The club is also in close communication with Mohya’s parents.

Hamann sees Gladbach coach Alexander Blessin, in particular, as a key factor in the young talent’s continued development. “He has a good coach now who is very supportive. That’s why they want to extend his contract. If he’s as level-headed as the coach says, he’ll sign his contract shortly.”

For FC Bayern, a contract extension for the 17-year-old could significantly complicate their chances of signing him in the near future.

Whether Munich will actually take concrete steps remains to be seen. So far, all that is known is that the record champions are keeping an eye on the offensive talent.

In Hamann’s view, Mohya would be well advised to continue his development at Borussia Mönchengladbach for now before taking the next big step in his career.
