FC Bayern has confirmed the transfer of Taichi Fukui: The youngster is moving to Munich from the Japanese club Saga Tosu
With Taichi Fukui, he landed a newcomer from Japan. The 18-year-old midfielder will move to Munich on January 1, 2023 and will receive a two-year contract. FC Bayern officially announced this on their website. However, Fukui is initially planned for Bayern II.
Bayern’s first newcomer in 2023 is certain. Twelve-time Japan U20 international Taichi Fukui will move to Munich from Sagan Tosu on January 1st. The player was allowed to train with the amateurs for several weeks in the summer and, according to campus manager Jochen Sauer, “was able to draw lasting attention to himself”. Now he is happy that Fukui will play for Bayern II in the regional league from January.
Holger Seitz is also looking forward to working with Faukui. “Taichi is an interesting talent, a technically adept attacking midfielder, quick and good at dribbling. Also because of his strong personality, we are convinced of his further development potential,” explained the sporting director of the Bayern youth team about the qualities of the kicker.
The midfield youngster trains regularly with the professional squad at Sagan Tosu and already has 14 first-team appearances under his belt. In doing so, he became the youngest debutant in the club’s history. Now he is looking forward to the new challenge in Germany. “It’s a great honor for me to be able to play for FC Bayern soon. I’ll give everything for the club,” he announced.
