Former Bayern Munich prospect Gabriel Vidović could be on his way back to the Bundesliga.

The Dinamo Zagreb left winger / attacking midfielder is reportedly on his way to SC Paderborn per Sky Germany journalists Kerry Hau and Dennis Bayer:

SC Paderborn is on the verge of signing Gabriel Vidovic! The former Bayern Munich player is expected to join from Dinamo Zagreb for a transfer fee of 3 million euros—it would be the Bundesliga newcomer’s record signing. Negotiations are in the final stages. @SkySportDE @_dennisbayer

Vidović’s 2025/26 season was a productive return to Dinamo Zagreb after making his move from Bayern Munich permanent last summer. The Croatian attacker established himself as an important attacking option, contributing seven goals and six assists in 37 games across all competitions.

The 22-year-old’s ability to operate from the left wing and create chances made him a consistent threat, even if his minutes were sometimes limited. Vidović showed the attacking potential that made him highly regarded during his time in Bayern Munich’s academy.
