Bayern Munich has reportedly shown interest in Khuliso Mudau, the talented right-back from Mamelodi Sundowns and a rising star in South Africa’s Bafana Bafana squad. This development could mark a historic milestone for South African football, as Mudau would be the first from his country to play for the prestigious German club.

Sources close to the situation indicate that Bayern’s new coach, Vincent Kompany, has long admired Mudau’s style of play. Kompany, who recently joined Bayern after managing Burnley, initially took note of Mudau while in England. The Belgian coach is drawn to Mudau’s dynamic style, likening him to Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold due to his ability to defend and deliver pinpoint crosses, making him a modern right-back who excels on both ends of the pitch.

“There is interest from Germany, specifically Bayern Munich,” confirmed a source. “Kompany has been following Mudau’s progress since his Burnley days and continues to monitor him now from Munich. Although no formal offer has been made, we are hopeful for positive news. Khuliso is highly skilled, with the attributes Bayern is looking for in a right-back.”

A move of this scale would be groundbreaking for Mudau and could open doors for South African talent on a global level, potentially providing a lucrative payday for Sundowns. For Bayern, signing Mudau would bring a fresh and promising addition to their squad.
