According to twenteinsite.nl, Bayern Munich are interested in 18-year-old defender Ruud Nijstad. Nijstad has a contract with Twente until 2027. The Dutch club will have to decide whether to renew his contract or sell him in the next summer transfer window. His market value has risen to around eight million euros after steady growth in recent matches.

Bayern Munich has an interest in FC Twente player Ruud Nijstad. According to Christian Falk, an observer of Bayern, the 18-year-old defender is being scouted and is on the club's shortlist. Falk stated that Nijstad is highly sought after and is considered one of the best young defenders in the Netherlands. He added that the player, who is 1 meter 93 tall, is strong in duels and has played several matches in the Eredivisie for Twente. According to Falk, Twente is reportedly demanding up to ten million euros. Falk also described Nijstad as someone who would be a reinforcement for the future.

Bayern Munich is one of over a dozen European clubs tracking FC Twente's 18-year-old Dutch centre-half, Ruud Nijstad, and has sent scouts to watch him repeatedly in recent weeks. It is reported that Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have also scouted the player with similar frequency. The widespread interest has increased after Barcelona withdrew from a potential deal. The Catalan club had previously pursued a deal with significant effort and held talks, but was unwilling to exceed a €10 million figure mentioned by Twente. It was also said that Nijstad was unconvinced by their development plan. This has created an opportunity for other clubs, and Chelsea and Manchester City are now described as being actively involved in the matter. This season, the Netherlands U18 international has made 9 Eredivisie appearances and provided 1 assist. His contract is valid until June 2027, and his valuation on Transfermarkt is currently €700k.
