Bara Sapoko Ndiaye

Analysis: Ndiaye received a significant runout for Senegal despite seeing very limited action at club level this season. The midfielder has played just three competitive minutes for Bayern Munich, all of which came in the DFB-Pokal, leaving him without a Bundesliga appearance. His international involvement provides valuable playing time as he continues to wait for more opportunities at Bayern.

Signs permanent deal with Bayern

Ndiaye signed a professional contract with Bayern Munich through June 2031, the club announced.

Analysis: Ndiaye joined Bayern on loan from Gambia in the winter and staked his claim for a permanent move with four competitive appearances in the second half of last season, earning a call-up to Senegal's World Cup squad and making one appearance at the tournament as the country reached the round of 32. He came through Gambinos Stars Africa, an academy that has partnered with Bayern's Red&Gold Football venture since 2023. Ndiaye is expected to continue his development within Bayern's midfield setup this season.
