FC Bayern is still looking for reinforcements for its defense. The Munich team have now removed a candidate from England from their transfer list – apparently the transfer pain threshold had been reached.
FC Bayern has dropped out of the transfer poker for Kieran Trippier. Sports director Christoph Freund confirmed this before the Bundesliga catch-up game against Union Berlin in the Allianz Arena. “It’s settled, yes. We’re only doing something that we’re 100 percent convinced of, that’s what we’ve always said. It has to be right for the player, for us and for the club giving it up, regardless of the parameters, and that wasn’t the case with Trippier “That’s done,” he said on “Sky”.
The TV station had previously reported that Bayern would stop courting the England international.
The German football record champions had apparently been working intensively on Newcastle United’s Trippier for several days. According to consistent media reports, Bayern sent two offers to the island.
According to “talkSPORT”, the second offer amounted to 12.6 million pounds (the equivalent of almost 15 million euros). However, the Premier League club rejected this. The British radio station also reported that Bayern were planning a third offer. But that doesn’t happen anymore.
FC Bayern continues to look for defenses
According to “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg, the Bundesliga runner-up was prepared to put between 15 and 16 million euros on the table for Trippier. It was said that the recently rejected offer was within this framework. FC Bayern’s pain threshold had probably been reached. According to Sky, the people of Munich have been in agreement with the right-back himself since the weekend.
So far, Bayern have only strengthened themselves in the winter with the Englishman Eric Dier (from Tottenham Hotspur). PSG star Nordi Mukiele’s desired transfer is dragging on. When “Sky” asked whether there was still hope for the change, Freund replied briefly and succinctly with “yes.”
Bayern are currently only in second place in the Bundesliga table behind Bayer Leverkusen.
