As “tz” reporter Philipp Kessler found out, Fukui will receive a 2-year contract until 2025 at the Bayern Campus. According to reports, Munich paid 400,000 euros for the top Japanese talent. The U20 international was trained at J-League club Sagan Tosu and most recently played for the U18s there. In his homeland, Fukui is already being compared to ex-BVB professional Shinji Kagawa.
Fukui is not a player for Julian Nagelsmann’s first team, but is scheduled for the FCB amateurs and will play in the regional league.
