Germany's Sport1 and America's CBS Sports are now claiming that the youngster's suitors have expanded. As of yet, the only named club is Spain's Valencia C.F. is the only named party in reports from either source. CBS claims that several unnamed French sides also have the player on their ledger.
A departure for Richards seems highly likely in any case. Most German footballing media sources confidently claim that FCB trainer Julian Nagelsmann does not envision a role for Richards above that of a back-up in his squad planning. Richards remains under contract with Bayern through 2025. His current price tag constitutes a doubling of his estimated market value.
