A good doliprane. Here is what Thomas Tuchel certainly needs when he looks at the current state of the transfer window files managed by Bayern Munich. Indeed, discussions drag on with Tottenham for Harry Kane. Daniel Levy remains firm and wants at least 117 million euros to let go of his player, who wants everything to be settled before the official start of the season, which is August 13. But the residents of the Allianz Arena are unable to bend the president of Spurs, known to be formidable in business. Kane therefore plans to stay a little longer in London and join Munich this winter or next summer.
A file that takes time
What give serious headaches to Tuchel, who wants a number 9 this summer. The former PSG coach must also deal with Manchester City, who will not let go of Kyle Walker so easily. This, while the right side agrees to sign three years in Bavaria. Finally, TT has to deal with a terrible puzzle, the one concerning the goalkeeper of Bayern Munich. Arrived last winter, Yann Sommer did not do the job. The Swiss therefore joined Inter Milan yesterday. Back from loan from Monaco, Alexander NĂĽbel was transferred to Stuttgart.
Two goalkeepers less for the German team, which was counting on the imminent return of Manuel Neuer. Out following his leg injury, the goalkeeper is working hard to find the pitch. But the latest news published in the German press is not necessarily reassuring. Picture explains that the subject Neuer fuels the conversations at the training center. Some at the club speak of a “change of plan” and believe that we should no longer speak of weeks but rather of months before seeing him on the pitch again. They think that he will not return before 2024.
Tracks that divide
Despite the optimism of the player, who is evolving day by day and who has not set a date for his return, the echoes within Bayern Munich are rather negative. For this reason, Tuchel wants a new goalkeeper. According to Abendzeitung, he wants a doorman who has the quality to be a number 1. A kind of number 1 bis basically. TT also want a player who won’t cause problems when Neuer returns and who will accept being on the bench. Which is not easy to get people to accept. The idea is to transfer a player that doesn’t cost too much and ticks all these boxes, but a loan is possible depending on Abendzeitung. And the German champions have a few names in mind.
As explained on our site, Yassine Bounou (Seville) is followed. TZ explains that the Moroccan is however not unanimous. Karl Heinz Rummenigge is very fond of the player, but this is not the case for all the other members of the management and the recruitment cell. Sky Germany now evokes the trail leading to Geronimo Rulli. The profile of the Ajax Amsterdam goalkeeper appeals to the club. But nothing is done yet. The names of David De Gea (free) or David Raya have been mentioned. But Bayern Munich don’t want to be wrong, as the club believe Sommer wasn’t the best signing last winter. In the midst of a galley, the German team is patient and counts on Sven Ulreich to act as interim while waiting to find the rare pearl.
