FC Bayern will probably make one or the other purchase in the summer of 2025. The Munich team is now moving their focus. Instead of at the headquarters or the offensive, the record champions are increasingly targeting his back team.
The question is not whether FC Bayern buys in the coming player. The question is: who and for which position? According to a report by the “tz”, the conviction spread on the executive floor that a new leader in defense was needed.
With Dayot Upamecano and Min-Jae Kim, there are currently two central defenders in the back team, who are able to perform a world-class performance on good days. However, both the Frenchman and the South Korean are also regularly available for mistakes.
FC Bayern doubts upamecanos leader qualities
It is already well known that the Munich door opened the door for a KIM sale. The “tz” now also reports that FC Bayern is receptive to good offers and would approved a deal.
In the case of Upamecano, the report meanwhile has doubts about its leader qualities. The Frenchman should not be sold, but he should be provided with the said alpha animal. Nevertheless, his 2026 contract is problematic. An extension is not yet in sight today. It remains to be seen whether the record champion takes the risk of going to the last year of contract.
The Dutchman Dean Huijsen in the service of the English club AFC Bournemouth has been considered a possible new addition to central defense for months. The 20-year-old is considered highly talented and is said to be high on the Bayern wish list.
There is an exit clause in Huijsen’s contract. The exact height can only be speculated. According to reports, it is around 60 million euros.
