FC Bayern Munich have reportedly sent scouts on multiple occasions to watch Liverpool FC youth talent Vincent Joseph.
Sources at ‘The Secret Scout’ note that the player looks set to depart as his name has been left off Liverpool’s announcement of scholars.
The 16-year-old has even produced eight goals in nine appearances for the English U-16 youth side in friendly fixtures.
However, the Bavarians are not the only German club to court the striker – Borussia Dortmund have also scouted the youngster.
Meanwhile, rival Premier League outfit Manchester United hold a strong interest in the highly rated youngster.
