It may not be a particularly attractive name, but it’s a great job by Bayern. What was announced a few days ago, the Bavarians made public today: The new player of the German champion is Raphael Guerreiro (29).The Portuguese has signed a three-year contract and is the fifth player this century to replace the Borussia Dortmund jersey with Bayern’s. Torsten Frings was the first to go that way, back in 2004. Then, in the summer of 2013, the news that Mario Götze was coming to Munich exploded, and a year later Robert Lewandowski would follow. Seven years ago, Bayern bought the then-best German sweeper Mats Hummels from Borussia for 35,000,000 euros…##NAJAVA_MECA_7336888##Guerreiro is the second player, after Lewandowski, who goes from Westphalia to the Allianz Arena without compensation. His contract with the Millionaires expired, Atletico Madrid were the first to come forward with serious interest, but when Bayern appeared as an option, the experienced all-rounder did not think much.There is no doubt that his decision was influenced by the fact that he is on very good terms with Thomas Tuchel. The arrival of a guy who can play almost equally in any position in the midfield, i.e. along the left outside line – as a classic full-back or a more offensive one – was insisted on by an experienced expert, who has known him since the time he was in charge of Dortmund.Raphael Guerreiro had problems with injuries this season, but even so he managed to score seven goals and record as many as 14 assists. Since joining Dortmund in 2016, he has played 224 games, scoring 40 goals and setting up another 50.The arrival of the Portuguese does not mean that the club from Munich will easily give up Alphonso Davies, who has been linked to Real Madrid for some time. Tuchel’s idea is reportedly to use the Portuguese more in the middle of the field and to be an alternative for the fast-footed Canadian.Davies: I was brought to Bayern to replace Arjen Robben, however…This is Bayern’s second free transfer this summer. Before Guerreiro, Konrad Leimer, until recently RB Leipzig’s midfielder, arrived in Munich. Currently, the transfer of the Korean Kim from Napoli is in the final stages, after which the Bavarians should go for Pau Torres from Villarreal.The choice of center forward remains for the very end of the transfer window…
