Brajan Gruda: The 19-Year-Old Mainz Wunderkind Scouted By Bayern

There is a fun story involving Mainz talent Brajan Gruda and Bayern Munich star Thomas Müller. Gruda had a fantastic game against Bayern last weekend and then exchanged jerseys with the 34-year-old German football legend. Müller was then spotted wearing the Gruda jersey, celebrating Bayern’s 3-1 win at Mainz in front of the visiting fans at the Mewa Arena.

“Thank you for [Brajan Gruda] for your shirt – keep on working hard, my friend,” Müller then posted on Instagram after the game. A post like that, by no less than Müller, is the equivalent of being knighted in German football.
