Currently on loan from Gambino Stars, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye will be signed by Bayern Munich on a permanent basis, according to tz.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany is understood to be a big fan of the 18-year-old, who has started two Bundesliga matches in a row for the German champions.
Two midfield spots will become available this summer once the contracts of Leon Goretzka and Raphaël Guerreiro expire.
Ndiaye will get the chance to prove he is ready to take one of those places alongside Noel Aseko, who will return from a loan spell at Hannover 96.
Alternatively, Ndiaye could be sent out on loan, with Grasshoppers Zürich mentioned as a potential suitor.
