Neo-Bayern coach Vincent Kompany can look forward to a new addition to his ranks. According to the German newspaper "Bild", Guido Della Rovere is joining the German record champions.

The 17-year-old Italian was trained at US Cremonese and played 26 minutes in Serie B last season. At FC Bayern, he will initially play in the senior squad.

The attacking midfielder has also already laced up his boots for Italy's national youth team. As soon as he has completed the medical check at Säbener Straße, the transfer will be officially announced.
