Will FC Bayern get a Brazilian international this winter? This is reported by the TV broadcaster “TNT Sports”. But whether the record champions have any need at all is more than questionable.
Series champions Bayern Munich finished the first half of the Bundesliga with nine points ahead of second place. If you ignore the disastrous elimination at Borussia Mönchengladbach in the DFB-Pokal, the league crosus looks back on a flawless series. Because even in the Champions League, they were harmless with six wins in six games.
Nevertheless, the record champions are said to be looking for reinforcement – and found what they were looking for in England. The television station “TNT Sports” reports that the Munich-based company intends to sign the Brazilian Raphinha for around 50 million euros from Leeds. According to the report, the five-time Brazilian international will join Munich in winter. But how realistic is a right-winger obligation really?
Kahn and Salihamidzic have been reluctant in the end
The fact is: FC Bayern currently has no need on the right offensive wing. With Leroy Sané, Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman, the record champions already have three players for two positions.
In addition, Bavaria’s CEO, Oliver Kahn, was rather cautious about possible transfer activities in an interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung. One is in an observation phase and must first develop a feeling of where the current situation in the corona pandemic is developing. “But one thing is clear: we are not gamblers,” said Kahn. Economically we are “in a position to do a lot. But at the moment we are again hurting by the lack of viewer income due to the pandemic.”
In addition to Kahn, Bayern’s sports director Hasan Salihamidzic had recently stated that winter transfers would not play a role. “That’s not an issue at all,” the 44-year-old told “DAZN” before the first half of the season against Wolfsburg.
So it remains to be seen whether the rumors about the 50 million man will harden in the coming days, or whether the people of Munich will keep their cash boxes closed – at least until the summer.
