– Douglas will strengthen us at the ends, which is important for our game. With Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, Jamal Musiala and Douglas, we now have the best players in those areas. This gives the coach the opportunity to lead the team sensibly. Douglas knows Bayern and will adapt again very quickly, said Bayern football director Hasan Salihamidzic.

A criticized reserve in Paris, Choupo-Moting arrives in Munich to be one more option in the team’s attack, basically remaining as a possible substitute for the top scorer Lewandowski. The player ended up improving his image in the final stretch at the Parque dos Princes due to his performance in the duel against Atalanta, in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, when he scored a goal and was decisive for the victory of the return from Paris .

Poplar-Moting has already undergone medical examinations and has donned the club jersey after signing the contract. Trained in the base categories of Hamburg, the striker returns to German football three years after leaving Schalke 04. He had previously passed through Nuremberg and Mainz 05, as well as Hamburg.
