Bayern managed to secure it’s ninth consecutive title in Bundesliga and found a new coach, after Hansi Flick couldn’t work with the current sporting director Hasan “Braco” Salihamidzic. But, it doesn’t mean that there are no problems in the Bavaria. On the contrary, headache is the main feeling for Braco these days, and the reason for that are contracts. And situation with contracts had led to unusual behavior from Braco – yelling at agents.Kingsley Coman’s agents want to force a move away from Bayern. However the club’s asking price is €90m. Therefore, the Frenchman is currently likely to stay in Munich, which comes with the risk of running down his contract and leaving for free in 2023 [@SPORTBILD] pic.twitter.com/RIVhRHAvY7— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) June 30, 2021 The global Covid-19 pandemic limited the financial possibilities for many clubs (especially well organized, responsible ones) and Bayern is no exception. On the other hand, players (and especially their agents) want more money, and the tension between both parties is often visible at the negotiating. For Bayern, it’s not only one, it’s three good players, and future long-term stars. Joshua Kimmich (26), Leon Goretzka (26) and Kingsley Coman (25) are the nucleus of the future Bayern generation who will take over from veterans Thomas Mulle (31) and Robert Lewandowski (32).The negotiations with Alaba had stalled very much when Hasan Salihamidžić yelled at Pini Zahavi during a meeting. Now the first talks with Coman’s agents have also ended with a dispute. Coman demands up to €20m/year while Bayern are offering significantly less [@SPORTBILD] pic.twitter.com/1ZqfSnvj6J— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) June 30, 2021 All three of them had good seasons and they want contract extensions. So does Bayern, who has a policy of rewarding good performances. But due to Covid-19 pandemic, the Bavarians are not allowed to spend much money, so their evaluation is different from players’. It all started with David Alaba, who eventually left to Real as a free agent. He was represented by super-agent Pini Zahavi, the same one who is now in charge of Kingsley Coman. The result: a huge difference between the club and the player when it comes to wage: Bayern are offering 1.7 billion Ksh and Zahavi wants 2.7 (in the range of Leroy Sane), which angered Braco so much, he yelled at famous Zahavi, as per Bild.’Money-hungry piranha’ comes in, and troubles arise: Bayern stop negotiatons with ComanGoretzka and Kimmich are probably not as greedy as Alaba (he turned down an annual wage of 2.5 billion Ksh), but they will certainly look to negotiate new deals close to that amount. They can always point out at Sane, who is not having a great season and still collets a great sum, but he was signed before the Covid-19 pandemic. Manchester United already looks at Goretzka as a potential target if Pogba negotiations break down, and Kimmich will always have suitors, but Bayern doesn’t want that. And the players are more open to stay at the moment, but the money is the problem. Goretzka’s contract is up in 2022, while both Coman and Kimmich are in Bayern until 2023, so they can both end their contract negotiation until next year, forcing Bayern to accept the demands or they will end up being free agent, which would be a nightmare scenario for Bayern.
