Max Kruse at Bayern?
An idea that, despite Kruse’s qualities, doesn’t seem particularly realistic at first.
But like the Union Berlin striker on the podcast Winner of the day As revealed by the Kickbase admin app, there was definitely a contact from Munich. In 2019, when Kruse finally switched to Fenerbahce in Istanbul.
Kruse reports on a conversation with Salihamidzic
“I had a phone call with Hasan Salihamidzic,” Kruse said. He later added, “Or wait, did he text me? I don’t remember exactly.”
Claudio Pizarro asked Kruse if he already had a new club, and received a call from a contact: “Hey, something can happen. If you can wait a few more days, wait.”
Then, according to Kruse, the contact was made by Salihamidzic, who was still FC Bayern’s sporting director at the time. “Hasan wanted to get in touch during the week,” Kruse recalls: “Of course not.”
Kruse’s explanation: “In big clubs, ten people are called to hold them. Then it is decided who to bring.”
Kruse thus confirmed one SPORT1Report that Kruse was on the FC Bayern candidate list and had been an internal issue for a long time.
Kruse was about to change to Liverpool
The talks with Liverpool FC and Jürgen Klopp were more specific. “Of course he would have. In my opinion, it was relatively quick,” Kruse said.

Liverpool “actually wanted to give up two forwards. Then one of the forwards scored goals in the semi-finals and finals of the Champions League. So it was done,” Kruse said.
The heroic feats of Divock Origi prevented a possible transfer of Kruse to the Premier League. “At the time it was disappointing,” admits Kruse.
But just “talking to Jürgen Klopp was amazing. We spoke on the phone once or twice.” Kruse reveals, “Everything is going great with him. I’m not mad at Jürgen. Every now and then I send him a photo from his vacation.”
Dortmund also wanted Kruse
Also of Liverpool interest SPORT1 reported.
These two options, which Kruse described as “the dream of every footballer”, “could never have said no.”

And another major German club wanted Kruse a few years ago: “Dortmund was also interested when Aubameyang was still there. If he had left, it would have been even more interesting.”
