SL Benfica B v UD Vilafranquense - Liga Pro Photo by Gualter Fatia/Getty ImagesJust when you thought you were out, Brazzo pulled you back in as Bayern Munich reportedly secured a loan for Benfica wunderkind Tiago Dantas.Per a report from Portuguese journalist Bruno Andrade (Goal and A Bola) and the tabloid Record, Bayern Munich might have pulled some last minute magic in securing a loan deal for Portuguese phenom Tiago Dantas. The 19-year-old has been favorably compared to former Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara.Below is the tweet from Andrade:Última hora: Bayern de Munique fechou o empréstimo do jovem Tiago Dantas, do Benfica. Aos 19 anos, o português é um pedido exclusivo de Hans-Dieter Flick, que enxerga nele um "novo Thiago Alcântara". Pasmém: opção de compra de apenas 8 milhões de euros— Bruno Andrade (@brunoandrd) October 5, 2020At the last minute: Bayern Munich secured the loan of youngster Tiago Dantas from Benfica. Nineteen years old, the Portuguese was exclusive requested by Hans-Dieter Flick, who sees him as a “new Thiago Alcântara.” Amazingly: purchase option for only 8 million euros.As stated above (and if true), the young midfielder would head to Bayern Munich on a one-year loan assignment with an option to buy for the cut-rate fee of €8 million.According to TVI 24, however, Benfica’s official source assured them that there is no purchase clause for the young player and that plans are for his return at the end of the season.It should be noted that Bayern Munich did not confirm this move prior to the transfer deadline in Germany, which leaves a gray area in how we should view this report. If true, it could be another coup for the Bayern Munich board.The fact that Flick could finally getting a player that he specifically wanted is a bit of news in its own right, because the treble-winning coach has seen two of his prized transfer targets, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, spurned by the Bayern Munich board.
