>Bayern Munich is in advanced talks to sign highly rated 17-year-old U.S. youth international winger Nimfasha Berchimas from Charlotte FC, sources briefed on the situation tell The Athletic.
>A deal is has not yet been reached, but negotiations are close. The clubs don’t need to worry about Monday’s transfer window deadline in Germany, as the current framework is over a pre-agreed deal for the summer. Berchimas doesn’t turn 18 until later this month and thus cannot be registered to play for a German club just yet.
>Berchimas is a product of Charlotte’s academy. He has previously trained with Bayern and Manchester United, while a host of other big European clubs have had him on their radar, but it’s Bayern that’s closing in on a deal for a forward who represented the U.S. at the last two U-17 World Cups, scoring four goals across eight appearances in the 2023 and 2025 tournaments. He has since progressed into the U.S. U-20 setup.
>Berchimas has made 45 appearances for Charlotte’s second team and three for the first team as he continues his development.
