Will FC Bayern give up two players to VfB Stuttgart for the new season? The rumor mill is churning.
The summer break is transfer time in the Bundesliga, including FC Bayern. In order to optimize the squad for the coming season, not only players should be signed, but also numerous bench pressers should be sold. According to information from the “kicker”, Omar Richards is among these.
The 24-year-old left-back only joined Munich from Reading last summer but failed to make it through in his first year. There are 575 minutes of play across all competitions, spread over 17 matches. The Englishman only managed one assist in the DFB Cup.
According to the “kicker” report, VfB Stuttgart has now targeted Richards. The Swabians are already looking intensively for a replacement for Borna Sosa, who is willing to emigrate. If the left defender leaves FC Bayern’s league rivals, Richards could obviously become a serious option.
The 1.74 meter tall defender moved to Säbener Straße on a free transfer around twelve months ago and was tied until 2025. What Richards would cost in terms of transfer was left open by the specialist magazine.
Zirkzee’s future at Bayern depends on Duo
“Sky” had previously reported that those responsible for Bayern were willing to discuss an offer for the 24-year-old. A loan is also conceivable.
In addition to Richards, Joshua Zirkzee is also associated with VfB Stuttgart. According to “Bild”, the “kicker” also found out that the Swabians were discussing the Munich striker. The Dutchman was last loaned out to RSC Anderlecht and has now returned.
However, the attacker still has to be patient due to the unclear situation surrounding Robert Lewandowski, who is willing to change. According to the “kicker”, whether Zirkzee will be awarded again – but then his contract would have to be extended beyond 2023 – or sold depends on what happens to Lewandowski and how Sadio Mané’s commitment is progressing
