Jay Jay Okocha Reveals Bayern Munich Transfer Details
Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha, a former Super Eagles star, disclosed that he nearly joined Bayern Munich in 1991. During an appearance on the ObiOne Podcast, Okocha explained that after participating in a tournament in Switzerland with Bayern's youth team, the club expressed interest in signing him.
However, due to German regulations, he could not be offered a professional contract until he turned 18, which he did in August, after the July cutoff. Okocha stated that Bayern's offer was verbal, and he was concerned about relying on it without a written contract.
Consequently, he opted to sign with third-division club Borussia Neunkirchen to start the season. By the winter transfer window, Eintracht Frankfurt approached him, offering a one-year amateur contract followed by a two-year professional contract, which he accepted.
