Bayern Munich will break the bank for Thomas Tuchel

What’s next after this ad

Bayern Munich like to anticipate. The German leaders have often completed the arrival of players and coaches in winter in order to avoid competition once summer has come. This was the case a few days ago with Thomas Tuchel. Courted by Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham, the 49-year-old coach, who was also linked to Real Madrid, was recruited by the Munich residents to prevent him from going elsewhere. Julian Nagelsmann was quickly thanked elsewhere in order to make room for him.

Desired for a long time by the residents of the Allianz Arena, TT began its mandate with a great victory against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, before elimination from the German Cup yesterday against Freiburg. A first quack. But the coach can count on the support of his management, even if it had made this trophy a goal this season. It will therefore not be for this time for the Bavarians, who are already preparing for next season.

Bayern Munich want a striker as a priority

Since Tuchel’s arrival, the German media have indicated that he wanted to revive certain players, including Leroy Sané, Sadio Mané and João Cancelo. They also assured that Serge Gnabry would be the first offensive player sacrificed this summer if he did not do better on the field. Its sale would also provide cash to inflate the envelope dedicated to the purchase of recruits. And precisely, the Munich club said more about its summer priority. Last night, after the defeat against Freiburg, Hasan Salihamidžić made a transfer window announcement.

At the microphone of Sky Germanythe sporting director assured that the club would activate to recruit a n°9, even more after yesterday’s setback. “Of course we will sit down and see what we do in the transfer market…” Bayern Munich wants to move up a gear to have new blood and above all find the replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who left for Barça last summer. Although Choupo-Moting does the job, the Germans want a size. They will therefore intensify their efforts soon and put the package.

The bar of 100 million euros reached?

Asked by SportBild, Michael Diederich, financial director of Bayern since April 1, announced that the club will be able this summer to reach 100 million euros and beat its record for a transfer (Lucas Hernandez for 80 million euros): “ there are two aspects at play here: can we afford such a transfer and do we want to afford such a transfer? Basically, I don’t rule anything out in life. But I will always be the person who says, “be careful!” We also need to keep an eye on the second part of the scale, our profitability. Hasan Salihamidzic is mainly responsible for transfers, but of course we will discuss such a perimeter intensively together within the management board and the supervisory board.

He pursues : “that we ultimately want to implement such a transfer, no matter how small, by the way; always depends mainly on the place of the player in the team and ours as a club. SportBild adds that transfers of more than 25 million to Bayern must be approved by the supervisory board with Herbert Hainer and Uli Hoeneß. And this will obviously be the case this summer for the Munich residents who are ready to break the bank. Harry Kane (Tottenham) is still targeted. Victor Osimhen and Randal Kolo Muani are also linked with the Bavarians, so they won’t have any problems spending millions.
