Bayern München is reportedly seriously considering signing Oskar Pietuszewski from FC Porto according to recent information. Florian Plettenberg reported that the German club is evaluating the potential transfer specifically due to an injury sustained by Luis Díaz. This development places the 18-year-old winger back on the radar of one of Europe's most prominent teams as they assess squad options.

Interest from elite clubs in Pietuszewski predates his current stint in Portugal. Manchester City was among the suitors monitoring the player before he moved to FC Porto. Tomasz Włodarczyk stated on Meczyki.pl that Bayern München, Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, PSG and Inter Mediolan were also prepared to compete for his signature during that earlier period. Włodarczyk indicated that this widespread attention focused primarily on the development pathway prepared for Pietuszewski rather than solely on the prestige of the interested clubs.

Pietuszewski joined FC Porto during the winter transfer window after completing 54 first-team appearances for Jagiellonia Białystok. Since arriving in Portugal, the six-time Poland international has recorded 22 appearances, scoring four goals and providing four assists. However, his current campaign has been disrupted; the winger has featured in only four club matches this season due to ongoing health problems. Despite these recent fitness issues and Portugal being viewed as a temporary stop in his career trajectory, his potential continues to attract significant attention from top-tier European football.
