#4 Julian Weigl
One of the rich prospects in Bundesliga is German defensive midfielder, Julian Weigl. At the age of 22 Weigl has proved that he is definitely one of the hot prospects in Germany. Weigl plies his trade for Borussia Dortmund as a defensive midfielder and can also feature as a centre midfielder if needed. His main attribute is he is a deep lying playmaker who tends to build the play from a deeper position in midfield. His defensive qualities are also impressive and his ability to make interceptions at a consistent rate allows his team to win the midfield battle against their opponents.

But his career has not been smooth, as the 22-year old has had some hiccups in form of injuries. His injury blows have been way too many in the past two seasons and his long-term absence this season has even affected Dortmund. But he is only 22 years old and he can get his career back on track.
With a pass success rate of 88%, Julian Weigl is definitely one of the brightest prospects in Germany. Manchester City's midfield has been one of the best this season and one of their unsung heroes is definitely Fernandinho. The Brazilian has been a revelation for City this season. So Pep is looking for a backup for Fernandinho as City lacks a player of similar dynamics to control the midfield from a deep midfield. Julian Weigl can be that player who can also be a competition for the Brazilian and can also take his place during his absence. Same for Manchester United they will be looking to replace someone like a Michael Carrick who is 36 years old and to fill in that void someone of Weigl's calibre will be perfect for the Red Devils. Only time will tell where the German midfielder will end up in future.
