Nestory Irankunda, Bayern Munich’s 18-year-old Australian prodigy, is angling for a winter loan to reignite his ambitions.
Dissatisfied with his current role at the club, the former Adelaide United starlet is eager to gain first-team experience elsewhere.
“I have the feeling that it will be better for me to let myself go on loan. I can’t continue to play U23 football every week,” Irankunda revealed in a candid interview.
After a summer move to Bayern and an initial stint training with the senior squad, Irankunda’s expectations of first-team action quickly dimmed. Instead, he found himself relegated to the U23 setup—a step he believes does not align with his lofty aspirations.
Determined to compete in a “first league” at a “top level,” Irankunda’s sights are set on a club that can offer him both development and competitive minutes. The decision now rests with Bayern Munich, who must evaluate whether a loan aligns with the long-term growth of their young talent.
As January approaches, Irankunda’s future could mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his burgeoning career.
