Bayern and Hoffenheim battling it out for Austria’s U-17 World Cup star

Moser will compete in the U-17 World Cup final against Portugal on Thursday, 27 November, at 17:00 CET.

Johannes Moser has attracted interest from several clubs, namely two in the Bundesliga, according to Austrian source oe24.at.

Bayern Munich and TSG Hoffenheim have set their sights on Moser and coincidentally both clubs have Austrian sporting directors. 

Bayern’s Christoph Freund is said to have the upper hand on Andreas Schicker, as he knows Moser from his time at RB Salzburg.

Salzburg won’t let their greatest talent go easily, but Moser could fit perfectly into Bayern’s new strategy of giving younger talents a chance.

The attacking midfielder has been a revelation at the U-17 World Cup. After seven games, he has eight goals and two assists so far.

He has scored in every knockout match and his brace in the 2-0 semi-final victory against Italy made him the heroic match-winner.

The website also suggests a possible scenario where the Bavarians could sign Moser and loan him to Hoffenheim.

This move already proved successful 14 years ago with his compatriot David Alaba spent some time at the Sinsheim club.
