With the commitment of Matthijs de Ligt, FC Bayern has bagged the next spectacular transfer. After sports director Hasan Salihamidzic was criticized by many Munich fans a few months ago, the squad planner is now receiving a lot of praise. The club official is trying to a factual classification.
“I think just as everything wasn’t bad before, everything isn’t good now,” Salihamidzic toldsky“: “I know how to assess that. Anyone who knows me knows that I am very down to earth. I’m good with one side but also with the other side.”
It is important to him personally “that the fans know that everything we do is for Bayern Munich,” assured the 45-year-old. “We do it for our team and for the greatest possible success. Sometimes the situations that the market offers allow it, sometimes the financial situation doesn’t fit. But sometimes it’s possible that some things work out. And that’s why we’re in this time in a good mood,” continued Salihamidzic.
With the signings of Matthijs de Ligt, Sadio Mané, Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui, FC Bayern has been able to attract many prominent names to the Isar in the current transfer period.
“We try to make the team as good as possible,” Salihamidzic explained the Munich strategy: “When we had talks, we tried to convince the players to come to our club. The team is very good, has one good structure and a good age. The players we asked and wanted chose us and we’re happy about that.”
Laimer to Bayern? That’s what Salihamidzic says
With Mathys Tel (Stade Rennes) and Konrad Laimer (RB Leipzig), two other players could switch to FC Bayern.
Regarding midfielder Laimer, Salihamidzic said: “We have to make sure that we get the final details from the other transfers. We’ll see what happens with everything else.”
