Bayern Activate €2.5m Buy-Back to Bring Noël Aséko Back This Summer

Pre-season evaluation under Vincent Kompany will gauge whether the 20-year-old fills the midfield vacancy left by Leon Goretzka.

Overview

  • Bayern confirmed Aséko will return from Hannover at season’s end after using a €2.5m buy-back that followed Hannover’s €1m purchase option, delivering the 2. Bundesliga club about €1.5m net.
  • Aséko, a Germany U21 international who joined Bayern’s academy in 2022, remains under contract in Munich through June 2028.
  • The club plans to assess him for first-team integration, though a sale remains possible if recruitment or strong bids materialize, with Villarreal and Brighton reported as interested.
  • During his Hannover spell this season he became a regular starter, logging roughly 25–27 appearances with three goals and five assists, and he offers cover in central midfield and at right-back.
  • Separate reporting indicates Bayern have cooled on signing Hertha prospect Kennet Eichhorn, a stance that could influence how they allocate midfield opportunities this summer.
