Tick, tock…There are only a few hours left for European clubs to complete their winter shopping. And like last summer, Bayern Munich will suffer until the last minute of the transfer window. Indeed, the residents of the Allianz Arena had not managed to complete the transfer of João Palhinha on time. The midfielder returned to Fulham very disappointed. Same feeling from Thomas Tuchel, who wanted reinforcement in the midfield. A few months later, the former Paris Saint-Germain coach is experiencing a new stressful situation in the final sprint of the winter transfer market.
Indeed, the German champions must urgently find offensive reinforcement after the injury to Kingsley Coman, who was absent for several months. Especially since TT already has to do without Serge Gnabry, also on the flank. Weakened on the wings, Bayern Munich therefore wants to recruit quickly in this position before the end of the transfer window. Yesterday, several German media revealed that the Bavarians want to recover Bryan Zaragoza immediately. Remember, the Granada player will join the Munich this summer, he who will end the season with his club which will recover €12 million (+ €4 million in possible bonuses).
Two complicated tracks
Faced with numerous injuries, Bayern Munich hopes to bring him in in January. Sports director Christoph Freund confirmed this yesterday, while indicating that it would not be easy. Indeed, the Germans will have to put their hands in their pockets to enlist him in January. A.S. assures that they have also made a first offer of 3 million euros. But Granada, which is playing for its survival in La Liga, wants more money. For his part, the player is ready to join his future club now. Negotiations will therefore continue and it is not certain that this file will be concluded by tomorrow. For this reason, the Munich residents are exploring another avenue in parallel.
According to Bild, they inquired about Steven Bergwijn (26 years old). Under contract until 2027, the Dutch winger, author of 8 goals and 5 assists in 20 appearances this season, is very popular with German leaders. The former Tottenham player also has the advantage of knowing certain elements of the team well, including Harry Kane whom he met at Spurs. But here again, Bayern Munich will have to be very convincing. In the Netherlands, the chances of the winger leaving Amsterdam so close to the end of the transfer window are believed to be slim. Enough to put a lot of pressure and stress on Tuchel, who does not want to relive another failure on the longest day.
