Is Bayern Munich eyeing the next Ivica Olic in Anton Matkovic?

FC Bayern is keeping an eye on a Croatian prospect, Anton Matkovic of NK Osijek. The 20-year-old striker has attracted interest from several clubs with his performances. Osijek are enduring a difficult season and are fighting relegation, but Matkovic has still stood out.

He has made 14 appearances across all competitions this season, contributing one goal and one assist while playing 862 minutes, and his contract runs until the summer of 2027. Osijek president Robert Spehar confirmed the attention around the player, saying: "He's being bombarded with calls from managers – Dinamo, Hajduk, Bayern, I don't know who else is being mentioned.

I think his head is like a drum. Someone from the club has to be with him around the clock to see what happens next and how things progress." In Croatia Matkovic is already being compared to Ivica Olic, who was at Bayern from 2009 to 2012 and played 80 competitive matches for Munich, scoring 23 goals.
