announced refurbishment
The unexpected absence of Morocco’s World Cup player Noussair Mazraoui (25) in the first few weeks of the new year is keeping those responsible at FC Bayern busy. “We’ll work out how that could have happened,” said sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic at the record champions’ training camp in Doha. “It is very bitter for us that we have to do without him because he is a very important player for us,” added Salihamidzic. He even spoke of a “huge failure”.
Mazraoui had a corona infection during the World Cup in Qatar, which forced him to take a break from the tournament. The full-back was absent from the quarter-final win against Portugal (1-0). In the semi-final against France (0:2) he played again, but only played 45 minutes. The tournament was then over for him. During an examination after the World Cup in Munich, an inflammation of the pericardium was found. Mazraoui should now fully recover from this.

“He’s getting the time he needs. You have to be very careful with a topic like this,” said Salihamidzic. Bayern’s sporting director refrained from making public allegations against the Moroccan association. There was always “very good communication” between the team doctors of Morocco’s national team and those of FC Bayern, he said. You will now do a health check at Mazraoui every week. There is no possible comeback date.
FC Bayern salaries: 18.5 million between 20th place and the top
The professional, who came on a free transfer from Ajax Amsterdam last summer, had increasingly established himself as a right-back at FC Bayern before the World Cup. Now Benjamin Pavard (26) should appear there again. The Frenchman arrived at the Bavarian winter camp in Doha on Saturday after his long holiday after the World Cup tournament and started training. On Saturday evening, after the team unit, he did some progression runs.
Despite a valid contract until 2024, Pavard is said to be flirting with a premature change of club. The “kicker” reported on contacts with FC Barcelona. Salihamidzic commented calmly on Causa Pavard: “Of course we will have talks. Benji is a very important player for us and we still have big plans together. As he told me, he feels very comfortable at FC Bayern.” At the World Cup, Pavard lost his regular place in the right back after the French team’s first game.

No urgent Bayern solution after summer veto by Borussia Mönchengladbach
The cancellation announced by Borussia Mönchengladbach for a winter change from Yann Sommer (34) to FC Bayern complicates the goalkeeper problem of the record champions. However, according to reports, those responsible in Munich have not yet removed Gladbach’s number one from their list of candidates as a replacement for captain Manuel Neuer (36), who has been absent for a long time after a broken leg. The Basta from Mönchengladbach is seen more as part of the transfer poker at the Munich training camp in Qatar.

“We will not give up Yann Sommer. We told Bayern that too,” sporting director Roland Virkus told the Rheinische Post on Saturday. The Swiss, on the other hand, should be inclined to change, the change request “sky” According to Gladbach’s Vice President Rainer Bonhof. Sommer’s contract with Borussia expires at the end of the season. Gladbach could currently still achieve a transfer fee. The people of Munich are said to have been loud “sports1Offer a little less than 5 million euros, but Borussia want at least 8 million euros to be able to finance a replacement for Sommer. Especially in focus: Jonas Omlin (28) from Montpellier HSC. FC Bayern is not yet ready to pay this sum.
Bavaria’s sports director Salihamidzic made a statement in Doha on Saturday, but before the Virkus statement became public. “I don’t like talking about players from other clubs, that’s well known,” said Salihamidzic when asked about the summer. “Obviously we are concerned with the goalkeeping issue. Manuel’s injury hit us hard, that’s obvious. But we will now do our work, check options and then make a decision at some point.”
Under market value in winter? Most valuable keeper with contract expiring in 2023
Another possibility would be to bring Alexander Nübel, who was loaned to AS Monaco, back to Munich early. Bayern would also have to pay a fee for the 26-year-old to end the loan. Salihamidzic said about the Nübel option: “We had very good communication between us, him and his management.” Nübel himself had recently emphasized that it made “little sense” to go to Munich. According to “Sport1”, an early return should only be possible under certain conditions, and it is all about personal appreciation.
The Munich goalkeeper game could still take some time, even if the Bundesliga continues on January 20 for Bayern with the game at third-placed RB Leipzig. “The transfer market period runs until January 31st. Until then, we will either do something or not,” said Salihamidzic. In the training camp, Sven Ulreich (34) is the current Neuer replacement. In addition, without the loaned Nübel, Bayern only have inexperienced young goalkeepers. Without a new top goalkeeper, the Bayern bosses feel that the risk of being able to achieve the high goals for the season with this line-up is too great.
