Reports have claimed that Bayern Munich are set to sign Bara Sapoko Ndiaye permanently from Gambinos Stars, but the move has yet to be officially announced.

Asked for an update on Bayern's pursuit of the 18-year-old, board member for sport Max Eberl confirmed that the deal is nearing completion.

“It's becoming increasingly likely and shouldn't take much longer,” Eberl told reporters during Bayern's Asia Tour.

After spending the second half of last season on loan at Bayern, Ndiaye is expected to join the club permanently for a fee "significantly below" €5 million, according to German media reports.
