When Bayern Munich acquired Nestory Irankunda, there were some fans who assumed that the Australian winger would get some first-team playing time.
Not so fast and it appears that Irankunda, himself, thought he would get a little more of a look with the senior team. Now, the 18-year-old is ready for more of a look at first-team football — even if that means going away on a loan assignment.
“Of course I’ve spoken to them [Bayern]. Obviously you want to be playing, you want to be playing at a top level, first league, first division and at a good club also. I’ve been in talks with the club and also the coaches about going on loan, because I feel like it will be better for me. I have to be playing, I can’t keep playing under-23s every week. So I’m in talks with them, and hopefully I get a club soon,” Irankunda said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Taking his case to the media might not go over too well in the offices at Säbener Straße, but Irankunda is clearly yearning for a chance to prove himself at higher level. With Bayern Munich’s wing positions already filled, the Aussie might be on the right track in suggesting that he should be loaned away.
