After Varane, Bayern targets another French defender

The German giant is looking to strengthen its defense. After exploring the Varane track, he became interested in another French international.

Bayern Munich are interested in French defender, Clément Lenglet. Bavarian officials turned to him after abandoning the track leading to Raphaël Varane (Manchester United).

Bayern forced to recruit

Lenglet is currently on loan at Villa from Barcelona, ​​but he doesn’t seem to fit into Unai Emery’s plans too much. The BILD media claims that the former Nancy player could be approached by Bayern during the winter transfer window.

However, any potential transfer hinges on Aston Villa – currently fourth in the Premier League – agreeing to cancel the loan.

If Bayern set out to recruit a new central defender it is because Kim Min-Jae and Matthijs de Ligt found themselves in the infirmary recently.
