Third access from competitor RB
FC Bayern grabbed Marcel Sabitzer
The move from Leipzig’s captain Marcel Sabitzer to FC Bayern is perfect. The Austrian national soccer player receives a contract until 2025. After coach Julian Nagelsmann and defense chief Dayot Upamecano, the Munich team is buying the third well-known entry this summer from Leipzig.
Marcel Sabitzer’s move from RB Leipzig to Bayern Munich is perfect. According to the announcement, the Austrian national soccer player will receive a contract with the German record champions until 2025. Sabitzer’s contract in Leipzig would have been valid until the end of the current season.
Sabitzer is the third Munich access from Leipzig for this season. Bayern had previously committed defender Dayot Upamecano (€ 42.5 million transfer fee) and coach Julian Nagelsmann (up to € 25 million) from their league rivals.
“Marcel Sabitzer has everything a player needs for FC Bayern,” said Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn: “He won’t need a long time to get used to because he is already very familiar with the philosophy of our coach.” Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic described the 27-year-old as “a very good footballer with a great mentality, he is very ambitious and, as captain of RB, has been responsible on and off the pitch”.
“Get a lot of titles”
“I’m very happy to be able to play for FC Bayern. Even as a child, I was very proud of my Bayern jersey, and I got a new one every Christmas. I will give everything for this club, I want to win as many games as possible and of course win a lot of titles, “said Sabitzer.
After teams like Tottenham Hotspur or AS Roma, who had shown interest in signing the Austrian national player, did not take action, Nagelsmann apparently won through with Bayern. The coach had a close relationship with Sabitzer in Leipzig and is convinced of the 27-year-old.
The champions and runners-up will meet after the international break on September 11th (6.30 p.m. / Sky and in the live ticker on ntv.de.) in Leipzig in the Bundesliga. For the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in Moldova and against Israel, Sabitzer has given his national coach Franco Foda a rejection. He complains of muscular problems in the adductor area.
