Signing a left winger is a priority for the Bavarian giants, and Porto’s Oskar Pietuszewski has been linked with a move in recent weeks.
The 18-year-old is a highly exciting left winger, and could become a fantastic addition for Bayern if they make a serious effort.

CfBayern Insider spoke exclusively with Portuguese journalist Miguel Lourenco Pereira about Pietuszewski, and Bayern fans should be excited.
Pereira said: “I think the thing I like most about Oscar, it was exactly the same thing I like most about Luis Díaz when he came to Porto. He was a player that made things happen. So [he] is the sort of winger that goes after the defence.
“You know, nowadays, especially since the Barcelona days with Guardiola, wingers started to move inward, started to be more patient with building the play, started to check more their position.
“And Oscar is an old-style winger, like Arjen Robben, like Díaz. [He] is the sort of player that attacks the defenders and tries to punish them time and time again and looks for their mistakes.
“I remember one of the first impacts he had as a Porto player was winning penalties because he enters into the box and then just tries to make a nutmeg or some kind of movement that right-backs today are not expecting, because wingers stop doing that a while ago.
“And he belongs to that rare breed of players that really, really create chaos. And sometimes you need that from an offensive player. You have all the players in midfield organising the game, you have all the defenders organising the game nowadays. You really need someone to bring in chaos in certain moments of the game, and I think Oscar is perfect to do that.“
Who else could Bayern Munich target?
Apart from Pietuszewski, Bayern are also checking on other options.
Christian Falk exclusively told CfBayern Insider that Junior Kroupi of Bournemouth has been a target for a while, and the Bavarian giants still retain interest.
Likewise, Liverpool youngster Rio Ngumoha could be another option for Bayern, but doubts remain whether the Reds would be willing to sell him.
Pietuszewski appears to be a great talent, and Bayern scouts are almost certain to take a close look at him in the coming months.
