Germany debutant Tom Bischof will reportedly be eligible to join Bayern Munich for the upcoming Club World Cup after the Bundesliga champions agreed to pay a fee to his previous club Hoffenheim.

Kicker sports magazine said on Sunday night that Bayern will pay around €300,000 ($342,000) to have the teenager available before July 1.

The ruling body FIFA has a special transfer window running until Tuesday for the 32 clubs participating at the month-long tournament in the United States which kicks off on Saturday. Players contracts normally end on June 30 and start on July.

Bayern have reportedly in a similar way secured the service of Germany defender Jonathan Tah, who arrives on a free transfer from Bayer Leverkusen. But in this case the fee is said to be up to €4 million.

Bayern – who are yet to confirm the reports – play their first match at the Club World Cup on Sunday against Auckland City, with Boca Juniors and Benfica their other opponents in the group stage.

Midfielder Bischof made his national team debut on Sunday when he came on in the 65th minute for future Munich team-mate in the Nations League match for third place which they lost 2-0 against France.

Coach Julian Nagelsmann named Bischof “a super lad, a very, very good character.” He said it was also noted that Bischof helped the physios clean up their equipment, speaking of “small gestures which I take notice of.”

“I hope that he retains this normal, down-to-earth mentality” after the move to Munich, Nagelsmann said, speaking of “a very, very big” step.

“He has a lot to offer and is a very, very fine footballer. Of course he still has steps to take. But after the week of training, he deserved his debut,” Nagelsmann said.

“My strong wish is that he stays as normal as possible. Then he also has a great chance of having a good career.”
