Has anyone chatted that? During the live broadcast of the European Championship group game between Switzerland and Finland, ZDF commentator Claudia Neumann may have revealed an upcoming transfer of a national player of FC Bayern. Neumann initially spoke about Géraldine Reuteler, who is currently playing at Eintracht Frankfurt and wants to leave the club. Afterwards she suddenly brought her into conversation with the midfielder of FC Bayern Munich, Linda Dallmann.
“Linda Dallmann should also feel like another country, in a great country,” said Neumann directly during the transmission. She added: “In my knowledge, she will go to Benfica in Portugal.”
Linda Dallmann has been under contract with the German record champions since 2019 and won four German championships during this time and brought the double this year. Your contract with FC Bayern runs until 2026. In the event of a possible change, a transfer fee would be due. Sky had already reported in May that Benfica was very interested in the experienced player.
At a media day of the German national team at the end of June, Dallmann already commented on a possible change abroad: “A few years ago I said that I would not do it. In the meantime.”
It was only on Wednesday that FC Bayern officially announced the farewell to Sydney Lohmann, who leaves the Munich women after nine years and connects Manchester City. Just a day later, Neumann announced the next prominent departure at Bayern.
