FC Bayern is looking for a new right-back. Manchester City’s Kyle Walker is seen as a dream come true. However, the deal threatens to burst. An alternative could open up at Bayer Leverkusen.
“Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg at least does not want to rule out that Jeremie Frimpong could become an issue again at FC Bayern this summer.
There is always speculation about the 22-year-old. Manchester United and Arsenal have both been linked with the Dutchman in the past.
Frimpong, whose contract with Bayer Leverkusen runs until 2025, has also been traded at FC Bayern. Recently, however, the personnel around Säbener Straße was cold.
This is mainly due to Munich’s interest in Kyle Walker. The 33-year-old has been on the radar of the German record champions for several weeks.
Does Bayern Munich get nothing from Kyle Walker?
However, the “kicker” reported at the weekend that the transfer was on shaky ground. According to the specialist magazine, FC Bayern is said to have a “certain skepticism” about the motives of the full-back. The suspicion: Walker is keeping the German industry leader warm in order to receive a better-paid contract offer from Manchester City.
The “tz” shared this assessment. According to “Sky”, FC Bayern will no longer improve its offer for Walker. The 33-year-old ultimately has to decide between Munich and ManCity.
Should FC Bayern receive a rejection, an alternative would have to be found. Finally, there is a need for action on the right-back position. João Cancelo has returned to Manchester City after a six-month loan. According to media reports, Benjamin Pavard wants to leave the club early this summer.
