Soccer record champion FC Bayern is looking for a new central defender and a right-back for the coming season. The Munich team seems to be looking to Italy, but they are not very convinced of two German internationals.
FC Bayern is facing difficult squad planning for the 2022/23 season. Alongside numerous contract talks with key players, defensive transfers are reportedly high on the agenda. The Munich team always have to keep an eye on the financial situation.
Two supposedly ideal candidates for the right-hand side of the defense are therefore eliminated in advance, reports “Bild”. Accordingly, Joao Cancelo from Manchester City and the former BVB player Achraf Hakimi, who has been in the service of Paris Saint-Germain since the summer, are very popular at FC Bayern. Both deals cannot be realized for the team around sports director Hasan Salihamidzic.
New speculation about the commitment of Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries is classified as more realistic. In the podcast “Bavaria insider“It is said that the name of the Dutchman at FC Bayern is definitely being discussed.
Does Dumfries even fit in with FC Bayern?
Born in Rotterdam, he only moved to Milan from PSV Eindhoven last September. In his first Serie A year, he won the league title.
The 32-time national player feels at home on the right side. However, there is still no internal agreement as to whether he can easily fill the role of right-back at FC Bayern.
In Inter’s 3-5-2 system, the 25-year-old acts more in the right midfield and thus does not correspond to the Munich ideal. Since he is still under contract in Milan until 2025 anyway, the transfer volume should not be exactly low.
FC Bayern not convinced by the DFB duo?
The Brazilian Bremer from FC Torino has recently been traded again and again to replace Niklas Süle in central defence. The 24-year-old is actually on the Munich list, according to “Bild”. However, an obligation does not seem realistic.
Because: Of all things, Inter Milan is already very far in terms of a summer transfer. Bayern would have to work very hard to convince Bremer. A transfer fee of around 20 million euros is assumed for him.
A significantly cheaper solution was recently traded in Matthias Ginter from Noch-Gladbach. The German national player is available on a free transfer after the season. According to the report, FC Bayern is not yet taking action because the management team is not fully convinced that he can also strengthen the squad.
The same applies to Nico Schlotterbeck from SC Freiburg. FC Bayern has therefore not yet submitted a request.
