Bayern Munich continues its facelift. This summer, the residents of the Allianz Arena have made several changes. The idea was to bring new blood in attack with Harry Kane. And the bet has paid off for the moment since the English striker has scored a string of goals in the Bavarian jersey. Like him, Raphaël Guerreiro, Konrad Laimer and Kim Min-jae joined the 2023 German champions. Enough to satisfy the demanding Thomas Tuchel. But not completely either.
All summer, the former Chelsea coach asked for a midfielder in his management. Unconvinced by Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, two former lieutenants of his predecessor Julian Nagelsmann, remember, TT asked his management for reinforcement. The German leaders, who were initially against it since they believed they already had what was needed, granted his wish. Tuchel’s priority, João Palhinha (Fulham) went to Bavaria. But the file could not be concluded before the end of the transfer window.
Two priorities this winter for Tuchel
A few months later, Bayern Munich will once again look for a midfielder. Palhinha is still followed, but the Bavarians do not want to do anything crazy. While they were ready to put 65 million euros on the table this summer, they want to lower its price. Bild adds that the Munich residents are also very interested in Martín Zubimendi (24 years old, Real Sociedad), whose release clause reaches 60 million euros. An amount also considered high.
Thomas Tuchel also wants a central defender. Especially since Matthijs de Ligt is injured. The Dutchman will not leave this winter but this summer, the door will be open according to Bild. Arsenal are already in the running. To replace him, Tuchel already has several names in mind. Ronald Araújo (24 years old, FC Barcelona), Giorgio Scalvini (20 years old, Atalanta Bergamo), Arnau Martínez Lopez (20 years old, Girona) and Clément Lenglet (28 years old, loaned to Aston Villa). The name of Raphaël Varane (30 years old, MU) also came out recently. This winter, there will be movement among the Bavarians.
