Thiago’s departure may not be the only one this summer. SPORT1 offers an overview of the situation in the Bavarian squad puzzle:

Hill:

Manuel Neuer is indisputable and consolidated as a regular goalkeeper. With Alexander Nübel, who arrived from FC Schalke 04 in a free transfer, the national goalkeeper has a new rival. Nübel will first have to line up behind. According to Rummenigge, a loan to allow the 23-year-old to regularly practice a match is “out of the question.”

Behind that, Neuer’s long-term aide, Sven Ulreich, could still leave his place. The former VfB goalkeeper announced in June SPORT1 I already started not wanting to be number three and looking for a new club if possible. The trio of Bavarian goalkeepers will be completed by Ron-Thorben Hoffmann in the next one. Christian Früchtl was loaned to Nuremberg for one year.

Defending:

David Alaba is firmly planned in his role as chief of defense. In negotiations for a new contract, on the sidelines of the Champions League tournament in Lisbon, a meeting took place between Alaba’s adviser, Pini Zahavi, and Bayern officials. The result: both parties want SPORT1-Information to extend the long-term contract that expires in 2021. Also Praise.

However, the new agreement has yet to be signed. Agreement still needs to be reached, especially on the question of wages.

Rummenigge now said: “It would be a shame if we couldn’t come to an agreement. David has been with us for twelve years and he fits perfectly with Bayern.”

Alongside Alaba, Jérôme Boateng, who was recovered with Hansi Flick, also played an important role in the triple. In the past, the 31-year-old thought about saying goodbye more often, but now he can apparently imagine staying.

“There have been no conversations yet beyond my contract. But it is clear to me that I will be happy to continue my journey with Hansi Flick. My family and I felt at home in Munich,” he said recently. Picture on sunday.

In Boateng you have to wait, Rummenigge said now: “Basically, I like his development. With Hansi he has become a FC Bayern player again.”

Two possible options: Boateng will remain in Munich until the end of his contract and will transfer for free next summer. Or you can find a suitable buyer for the 2014 world champion before October 1.

Behind them, Niklas Süle wants to fully attack again after surviving a torn cruciate ligament. Super talent Tanguy Nianzou, who came from Paris Saint-Germain, would be there as a substitute. Flick is confident the 18-year-old will play a decisive role in defensive midfield.

85 million man Lucas Hernandez, who disappointed in his first season, is likely to stick around. In central defense, the left foot is initially backed by Alaba and left behind for Alphonso Davies.

In the right-back position, however, there is still a need. “That is the wish of the coach. He would like a replacement for Benjamin Pavard,” said Rummenigge. Álvaro Odriozola, on loan from Real Madrid, left no mark and returns to Madrid.

Recently there have been rumors about Sergino Dest (Ajax Amsterdam), but there are different opinions within the club on which Bayern classification, as well as Dodo (Shakhtar Donetsk) or Max Aarons (Norwich City).

Midfield:

Thiago’s next goodbye would leave a void that must be filled. “If it happens like this, it’s an outing that hurts a bit,” said Rummenigge, who at the same time continues to plan firmly with Corentin Tolisso. “He stays. He is very happy and would like to continue with us,” said Rummenigge. Tuttosport.

In Javi Martínez, however, the signs point to farewell. “His contract remains valid for one year and we have given him to understand that we are not putting any obstacles in his way,” Rummenigge said.

For central midfield, a backup is still being sought for Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka. In the Italian media, Marcelo Brozovic was last seen as a hot candidate. “No comment,” Rummenigge said. Tuttosport and left room for speculation. The Croatian’s transfer fee, whose market value is € 50 million according to transfermarkt.de, could become a stumbling block.

Attack:

With Leroy Sané, who arrived from Manchester City for 45 million euros, Bayern made their signing of king this year. The national player can be used flexibly on offense and expands Flick’s options.

However, the German national player is mainly planned for the left back. With CL’s final hero Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry on the wings, as well as Thomas Müller in center behind Robert Lewandowski, the Bavarians were already very busy, now Flick should face some tough decisions.

For the piano, the loan from Inter Ivan Perisic has also recommended to continue employment. “We have not made a decision yet. In the days of Corona, we have to evaluate how we are behaving in the transfer market. There is still time for Perisic, I am in contact with my friend Marotta (Giuseppe Marotta, Inter Milan Manager, editor’s note. Red.) “, he informed Rummenigge about the current status.

And at the fore is the status of Robert Lewandowski, the newly crowned Footballer of the Year, undisputed. Last season Joshua Zirkzee scored with promising short appearances, but there is no way to avoid Poland in the near future either, Rummenigge knows that: “I will see Lewandowski on the field for a long time, so we are not looking for a successor.”
