The line-up in the central midfield again raises questions about Bayern after the two Champions League games against Inter Milan. The rumor fits into the picture that the Munich team look around for alternatives.
As the English portal “Caughtoffside” reports, FC Bayern is currently looking at Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United. The midfielder from Italy is considered a candidate for interchangeable candidate in England.
Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus Turin and Paris Saint-Germain are also said to have an eye on him. According to the report, Newcastle actually wants to hold its star player.
But if Tonali should push for a finish if one would be ready to talk. There is a transfer fee of around 80 million euros in the room. In the event of a sale, the magpies would probably like to hand over their players abroad, it is said.
Tonali changed from AC Milan to Newcastle in the summer of 2023 for around 63 million euros.
Next million transfer in the midfield of FC Bayern?
In October of the same year, the newcomer was closed for ten months due to its involvement in the betting scandal. As a result, Tonali also missed the European Championship in Germany.
The rumors about a possible switch to FC Bayern are not completely new. As early as December 2024, the “Gazzetta Dello Sport” had associated the eighth with a change to Säbener Straße.
There was recently the midfield pairing from Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka on the lawn in the big games – the duo had actually wanted to avert the Munich people for a long time.
In the KO duels with Inter it became clear again the defensive weaknesses Kimmich and Goretzka have in conjunction. Because at important moments, FC Bayern was repeatedly not closed in the backward movement.
Only last year the record champion had spent over 50 million euros to present a fresh face for the headquarters with Joao Palhinha. So far, the Portuguese has not proven to be a real reinforcement.
