Bayern eye Aseko as potential Goretzka successor

Vincent Kompany is said to be a fan of Aseko, who trained regularly with Bayern’s first team before joining Hannover on loan and has been playing for the Lower Saxony side since early February 2025. The German under-21 international is having a strong season in the 2.

Bundesliga with Hannover 96, and Sky reports that Munich’s management generally see him as a potential successor to Leon Goretzka. Aseko’s versatility strengthens his case: he can also be deployed at right-back and could fill a role similar to Tom Bischof, who arrived from Hoffenheim last summer and, despite being signed as a central midfielder, often plays as a left-back for the first team.

Aseko moved from Hertha BSC to Bayern’s youth academy in 2022 and remains under contract at Säbener Straße until 2028. He has made 25 second-division appearances this season, scoring three goals and providing five assists.
