In addition, FC Bayern will bring Noel Aseko back from Hannover 96 this summer, as the Munich club confirmed in a press release on Thursday. The 20-year-old came through the FC Bayern youth ranks and is currently on loan at second-tier side Hannover 96 this season. As Aseko has impressed, Hannover recently exercised their option to buy him for one million euros, whereupon the Munich club immediately activated their buy-back clause of 2.5 million euros.
Aseko could take the squad place of Leon Goretzka next season, who is set to leave the club on a free transfer. Apart from regulars Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic, Tom Bischof is also available for the defensive midfield role. Just like Bischof, Aseko can theoretically also fill in as a full-back.
