FC Bayern wants to change its squad next summer. New players are particularly necessary on the defensive. Lothar Matthäus has a suggestion.
The farewell to Jonathan Tah from Leverkusen has been decided – but where the national player is going in summer is still open. National player Lothar Matthäus called his clear favorite in his column on the TV station Sky: Bayern Munich.
“If I had something to say at FC Bayern, I need the best and Tah is one of the best. I would definitely deal with Tah,” wrote Matthew. Tah, according to Matthäus, could form the central defender duo together with Min-Jae Kim and give the inconsistent South Korean more security. Especially in terms of experience, Tah brings a lot: 303 Bundesliga games has now played the defender. His contract at Bayer 04 expires at the end of the season – a change would be possible free of charge. FC Barcelona is the favorite.
For Matthew, it is clear: Bayern should have won Tah last summer. At that time, interest from Munich was already intense, but a transfer did not come about. Now the opportunity could offer again – and Matthew sees a need for action: the defense against Bavaria is a “construction site”, characterized by uncertainties.
In any case, there should be exits on the defensive to clear budget for newcomers. According to media reports, Min-Jae Kim could leave the club with a suitable offer. For him, Bayern paid around 50 million euros to Naples last year. The future of Sacha Boey is also uncertain. Dayot Upamecano continues to fail after knee surgery.
