"The father of 16-year-old Bayern Munich central defender Cassiano Kiala flew to London on Friday for discussions with Chelsea and Manchester City, Mirror Football understands. Kiala is close to making his first-team breakthrough in Bavaria and internally, is widely regarded as one of club's most-promising young talents alongside attacking superstar Lennart Karl. Sources have told Mirror Football super-agent Jorge Mendes was in Munich last week to meet both the player and his family."
"Mendes' world-renowned agency Gestifute looks poised to handle Kiala's professional affairs moving forwards, alongside his relatives. It's understood the player's father flew to London on Friday evening from Germany for a whistle-stop visit to England, where he met with both Chelsea and City for private discussions before returning to Munich on Saturday. City in particular, are said to be strongly interested, though Brexit regulations mean Premier League clubs are prohibited from signing foreign talent until they have reached the age of 18."
