Bayern Munich are weighing up a move for FC Midtjylland striker Franculino, with the transfer rated at a 50% probability according to the latest data.
The 21-year-old centre-forward, who represents Guinea-Bissau and also holds Portuguese nationality, has emerged as a serious option for the Bundesliga giants as they assess long-term attacking reinforcements. Figures around the deal remain speculative, but his current market value of €22.00m provides an indication of the level any potential negotiations could reach.
Franculino is currently under contract at Midtjylland, yet no formal expiry date is listed, leaving open the possibility that his contractual situation could change and, in time, even open the door to a free transfer if no renewal is agreed. For now, Bayern’s interest remains at rumour stage, with no agreement reported between the clubs.
The left-footed striker, who wears the number 7 shirt for Midtjylland, moved to Denmark in 2023 from Benfica’s youth system, having progressed through the Portuguese club’s U17, U19 and U23 sides. That development path has taken him from domestic youth football in Portugal’s academy structure to senior action in Denmark’s Superliga, where his performances have driven a rapid rise in valuation — from €1.2m shortly after joining Midtjylland to €22.00m as of mid-December 2025.
Born in Bissau on 28 June 2004 and standing at 1.86m, Franculino profiles as a modern central striker, built for a high-intensity pressing game but also capable of operating as a penalty-box focal point. His progress in Denmark and his dual-nationality background have attracted wider European attention, with Bayern now the most prominent name linked.
If a move to Munich materialises, it would mark a significant step up in level and could prove a defining moment in Franculino’s career, shaping his reputation on the European stage and testing his potential at the very top of the club game.
