The final hours of the transfer window are always a whirlwind of rumors and last-minute deals. Yesterday was no different, but one story truly caught the eye. It concerned Franculino Djú, a talented Portuguese-Guinean forward, and the mighty Bayern Munich. News of their pursuit was making waves, and now, the football director for Midtjylland in Denmark has confirmed it.
Jacob Larsen, the man in charge of football operations at Midtjylland, didn’t shy away from the truth. “Several big clubs tried for him, we have to admit it,” Larsen stated plainly. “We didn’t say ‘yes’ to anyone, but there was a lot of interest in Franculino Djú. Bayern Munich was one of several top teams.” This confirms the whispers that had been circling as the clock ticked down.
Djú has been on fire this season for Midtjylland. He has already scored 9 goals and provided 2 assists in just 12 games. That kind of production naturally turns heads. Before heading to Denmark, Djú spent a good portion of his early career with Benfica. He developed through their youth ranks, playing for the Under-17 and Under-19 teams, before moving up to the Under-23 squad between the 2019/20 and 2022/23 seasons. His journey shows a clear path of growth and skill development.
