Bayern Munich tried to bring back Dante

The oldest player in Ligue 1 at the age of 40, Nice central defender Dante Bonfim will celebrate his 41st birthday on October 18th. Always performing, the captain of OGC Nice has made 5 appearances in Ligue 1 at the start of the season. A member of the Aiglons since the summer of 2016, Dante is still appreciated by Bayern Munich where he played between 2012 and 2015, winning the 2013 Champions League.

According to information from TZthe Brazilian central defender had even been considered to strengthen the Bavarian club last winter. While Thomas Tuchel wanted a defender capable of supporting Dayot Upamecano, Matthijs de Ligt and Kim Min-Jae, it was finally the English defender Eric Dier who arrived from Tottenham.
