Gravenberch as a pioneer?
At FC Bayern, a major reversal in personnel policy is apparently in the offing. As the “Kicker” reports, those responsible in Munich want to break new ground in terms of transfers and training and become a sales association in the future.

The background is also the financially difficult times caused by the corona pandemic. The salary costs for top players have risen to such an extent that FC Bayern does not have the necessary money for well-known newcomers. Top players like Franck Ribéry (38) or Arjen Robben (38) are no longer available. Last winter, for example, former Gladbacher Denis Zakaria (25) also decided against FC Bayern and for Juventus.

Therefore, according to the report, young players between the ages of 20 and 22 should be preferred in the future, who will be developed in Munich for about two to four years and finally sold at a profit – by means of high exit clauses. The Ajax talent Ryan Gravenberch (19), who was last traded at FC Bayern, falls into this category.

In addition to reinforcements for the midfield center, the record champions are looking for a new right-back and one or even two central defenders. Chelsea’s Andreas Christensen (25) is still a candidate, his teammate Antonio Rüdiger (28), who is also traded, is not. In the future, the core of the Bayern squad should consist of 13 or 14 top players, plus three or four players “from the first quality category” and “with special development potential”, summarized the “kicker”.
New personnel policy: FC Bayern is looking for partner clubs abroad
In order to enable talented homegrown players such as Jamal Musiala (18), Josip Stanisic (21) and Paul Wanner (16) to develop better in the future, FC Bayern is planning cooperation with partner clubs abroad, according to the “kicker”, who play in the 1st division play. The Bayern talents could get more assignments there, which is very difficult in Munich under competitive conditions in a duel with top European clubs.
Particularly talented youngsters would therefore not play at FC Bayern II in the fourth-class regional league, but would continue to learn and mature at a high level. The Austrian Bundesliga club SK Austria Klagenfurt, to which two Bayern talents Alex Timossi Andersson (21) and Ziyang Liu-Shao (18) are currently on loan, is to become a partner club. A second club is being sought in Belgium.
