Teenage winger Nimfasha Berchimas is being linked with a move from MLS side Charlotte to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, with the rumoured switch currently rated at a 59% probability.
Reports suggest Bayern are monitoring the 17-year-old left winger as a longer-term prospect, with his current market value listed at €300k. While no agreement has been announced and no contract terms disclosed, the absence of publicly available contract expiry details at Charlotte has also fuelled speculation that Berchimas could become a free‑agent option in future windows if no extension is secured.
Born on 22 February 2008, the right-footed attacker represents both the United States and Burundi at nationality level and is viewed as one of Charlotte’s more intriguing academy graduates. He moved from North Carolina Fusion Youth to the Charlotte FC Academy in 2020 before stepping up to the first team in November 2022, remaining within MLS ever since.
Berchimas operates primarily as an attacking left winger and stands at 1.72m, a profile that aligns with Bayern’s preference for nimble wide players. His current valuation of €300k marks a decline from previous estimates of €500k recorded several times between March and December 2024, a trend that may make him a comparatively low-cost, low-risk target for European clubs searching for emerging talent.
The youngster has been playing his club football exclusively in the United States, first in youth competition and then in MLS with Charlotte, giving Bayern the chance to tap into a market that has recently produced several high-profile exports to Europe. Specific recent match data for Berchimas is not detailed in the available information, but his steady rise through Charlotte’s system underlines how highly he is regarded internally.
If Bayern choose to act on their interest and a deal can be struck, a move to Munich would represent a dramatic step up in level and visibility for Berchimas, potentially shaping his career trajectory and reputation across both of his footballing homelands.
