Munich (AP) – FC Bayern Munich signed Noussair Mazraoui as the first newcomer for the coming season. As the “Kicker” reports, the German soccer champion and the 24-year-old defender have agreed on a four-year contract until June 30, 2026.
The Moroccan international’s arrival has been in the offing for some time. He is free of charge as his contract in the Netherlands expires this summer.
After Borussia Dortmund’s transfer offensive, Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann can now plan his first signing for the new season. BVB had brought national defender Niklas Süle from Munich, Nico Schlotterbeck (SC Freiburg) and Karim Adeyemi (RB Salzburg), which is opposed to the expected departure of Erling Haaland to Manchester City. Nagelsmann had admitted “a few construction sites” in the Bayern squad. He wouldn’t mind “if we bought one or two counter-pressing machines,” as the 34-year-old said with a wink. He hopes for new stimulus points in the squad.
Further additions are to follow
In addition to Mazraoui, his teammate Ryan Gravenberch is also set to move from Amsterdam to Munich. The clubs still have to agree on a transfer fee. The 19-year-old midfielder is under contract with Ajax until 2023. According to “Sport Bild”, Borna Sosa (24) from VfB Stuttgart and Konrad Laimer (24) from RB Leipzig should also be on Nagelsmann’s wish list.
