FC Bayern fans can expect new players in the German record champions’ squad soon. The club is “currently in the process of fixing one or two deals,” said sports director Christoph Freund in an interview published on Wednesday by the streaming service “DAZN”. The Munich team wants to improve, especially in defense. There was public speculation about the signing of Radu Drăgușin (Genoa CFC), Nordi Mukiele (Paris Saint-Germain), Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur) and Ronald Araujo (FC Barcelona).
The situation is specific with Drăgușin, among others, possibly with a disadvantageous outcome for FCB: After it was initially said that Bayern had probably come too late with the 21-year-old, the Munich team went all out: they wanted the Tottenham deal with Genoa therefore hijacked in the last few meters. According to Sky, Bayern’s offer is 23 million euros as a basic fee and 7.5 million in bonuses. The central defender should receive a contract until 2029 upon completion.

The “Spurs” are said to have previously offered 5 million euros plus 5 million euros in bonuses. Like transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports, the Londoners have increased their bid overnight and are confident that Drăgușin will stick to the agreement made with him. Apparently with success. Gianluca Di Marzio assumes that Drăgușin has decided on the Premier League club, the deal should be finalized later in the day and the medical check is scheduled.

FC Bayern is negotiating with PSG about the transfer of Nordi Mukiele
“Sky“According to this, FC Bayern is independently in advanced discussions about a transfer of the 26-year-old ex-Leipziger Mukiele. The Frenchman is the absolute dream solution for the back right, the negotiations with PSG are about a loan with an option to buy. Mukiele himself wants to go to Munich. If Drăgușin actually chose competitor Tottenham, Dier would come back into Bayern’s focus as an option for the interior.

Sports director Freund explained the concerns on the defensive: “For the first four or five weeks in January we are missing two players, Noussair Mazraoui and Min-jae Kim, who are at the African Cup and Asian Cup respectively. That’s why we’ve been discussing some names for a long time.” But it’s always a question of feasibility to specify a change.
Freund did not rule out mega transfers like that of striker Harry Kane, which cost Munich a record transfer fee of 100 million euros in the summer, for the future. “If everything fits together and everyone is sure that it could give the team so much, then maybe that will happen again and again.”
