The signs are pointing to upheaval at the German record champions. FC Bayern Munich wants to become stronger across the board through new signings. According to a media report, a kind of royal transfer is also in the works.
According to a media report, FC Bayern Munich is said to be interested in signing Sadio Mané from the English football club Liverpool FC. As the TV broadcaster Sky reported online, Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic is said to have spoken to the striker’s advisor about the Senegalese last weekend in Mallorca. Negotiations with the second in the Premier League are said to have not yet taken place. The 30-year-old Manè still has a contract with the Champions League finalist coached by Jürgen Klopp until the summer of 2023.
According to the report, Mané could replace Serge Gnabry with the German record champions, for whom talks about extending his contract, which expires in 2023, are said to have stalled. Salihamidzic recently said about possible transfers in the summer: “Let’s be surprised. We have to see what’s possible. We want to be creative and have ideas.”
Coach Julian Nagelsmann is already busy in the new season. “Of course we still have a few construction sites to close in the squad,” he said thoughtfully, “that’s work, but we’ll do it”. And that was already on Monday: while Nagelsmann asked his tired masters to the training ground, the powerful supervisory board met in Munich. The most important topics: the multi-million dollar contract extensions for Robert Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer and Serge Gnabry and the approval of Nagelsmann’s transfer requests.
Ajax duo to come
“I don’t mind if we buy one or two pressing machines,” he said after the unsatisfactory 2: 2 (2: 1) against relegation candidate VfB Stuttgart, the work against the ball causes him “worries, we have to get that under control “. With a wink, he asked for exciting player names to be emailed to him.
But the financial framework, as Hasan Salihamidzic made clear several times, is tight. “We have ideas and give everything, but we have limits and not infinite amounts of money,” said the sports director, “we have to be creative”. It’s about “strengthening the squad across the board”.
The Ajax professionals Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui are considered safe additions, and Niklas Süle, who was warmly adopted by fans and the team, is to be replaced internally. Nagelsmann’s desire for six could lead to Leipzig’s Konrad Laimer.
