Cassiano Chiara, a 16-year-old centre-back, is highly regarded at Bayern Munich and has featured on Vincent Kompany’s bench seven times this season already.<\/h2>\n

The father of Bayern Munich central defender Cassiano Chiara, 16, flew to London on Friday for talks with Chelsea and Manchester City, Mirror Football understands.<\/p>\n
Chiara is close to breaking into the first team at Bavaria and is widely regarded internally as one of the club’s most promising young players alongside attacking superstar Lennart Karl.<\/p>\n
The Germany Under-17 international has already featured as a substitute for Bayern seven times this season and has been a regular in first-team training since the end of the 2024-25 season.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the versatile player, who can also function as a defensive midfielder, was part of Bayern’s traveling squad for last summer’s Club World Cup in America.<\/p>\n

But that didn’t stop English clubs from monitoring Chiara. Chiara has a great future in the game due to his technical qualities and ball-playing ability.<\/p>\n
Sources said Mirror Football’s super agent Jorge Mendes visited Munich last week and met with players and their families. Mr. Mendes’ world-renowned agency, Gestifte, appears ready to handle Mr. Chiara’s professional affairs in the future, along with his relatives.<\/p>\n
The player’s father flew to London from Germany on Friday night and is understood to have visited England and held private talks with both Chelsea and City before returning to Munich on Saturday.<\/p>\n
City are said to be particularly interested, but Brexit regulations prohibit Premier League clubs from signing foreign players until they reach the age of 18.<\/p>\n
In this case, it appears that the discussions will focus on building a relationship for the future. Chiara does not turn 18 until January 11, 2027, and his current contract with Bayern is scheduled to run until June of the same year.<\/p>\n

The Bundesliga champions are thought to be keen to keep the former Hertha Berlin youth star at all costs.<\/p>\n
Bayern have great confidence that Chiara will become a first-team regular under Kompany, and recent moves within the club to integrate more homegrown talent to create more stars and role models, such as Thomas Muller and Jamal Musiala, are noteworthy.<\/p>\n
With six goals and two assists in all competitions, winger Karl is the latest bright light to emerge from Bayern’s famous ‘campus’ after being given first-team opportunities.<\/p>\n
Chiara received glowing praise from fellow Bayern defender Jonathan Tarr after performing well in pre-season friendlies against Tottenham and Lyon.<\/p>\n
Asked if Chiara had the qualities to help Bayern this season, Tarr replied: “He definitely has it. He’s fast, good on the ball, brave. He’s a top-class centre-back.”<\/p>\n
