Second in the championship behind the unstoppable Bayer Leverkusen and facing Lazio Rome in the round of 16 of the Champions League, Bayern Munich is expecting a lot from this winter transfer window to relaunch itself, but also to secure the future of its stars. Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer have been extended (until 2025), in addition to the arrival of Tottenham central defender Eric Dier. But that’s not all and Christoph Freund, the sporting director of Bayern Munich, discussed all the hot topics of the moment.
And among them, there is above all the possible exchange between Parisian defender Nordi Mukiele and Joshua Kimmich. A deal that he immediately denied. “I can only smile. This is totally far-fetched. Joshua Kimmich is a very important player for us, one of our main players. We’re going to sit down and talk about his future. We know what we have with Jo Kimmich (…) Nordi Mukiele is not an uninteresting player. He can play right back as well as central defender.he explained to Bild.
Bayern Munich trembles for Davies, Musiala and Sané
But Joshua Kimmich is not the only Bavarian executive appreciated by major European clubs. Alphonso Davies, very often announced at Real Madrid, and Leroy Sané are often mentioned and, regarding them, Christoph Freund hopes to see them quickly extended. “There has been speculation for a long time. Alphonso Davies has a contract with us until 2025. I am convinced that he really enjoys playing for FC Bayern. We would really like him to stay at Bayern longer. We will have discussions. Leroy Sané has a contract until 2025. I am convinced that he could stay longer at Bayern.added Freund, explaining that he was currently having his best season with Bayern Munich.
Same thing for Jamal Musiala, who he hopes to see “a very long time at Bayern, because he’s a special player, we can’t do better”. Finally, he spoke about the Eric Dier case, whose arrival was mixed by some, since he would not be a first choice. “Being in contact with several players is our duty as a club. Eric is a very good player with a lot of experience and he also has a great character, he will do us good not only on the pitch but also in the locker room..
