Whenever Bayern Munich has lost the title in the past fifteen years, they have entered the June transfer market strongly, bringing in serious reinforcements and significantly emptying the funds. The last time before Leverkusen, Jürgen Klopp with Borussia Dortmund took the crown from them, and that August, Manuel Neuer and Jérôme Boateng arrived in Munich, followed a year later by Bayern’s then most expensive acquisition, Javi Martínez, and Mario Mandžukić. For that time and by Bayern’s standards, it was a huge amount – over 120,000,000 euros over two June’s. However, it all paid off, as it marked the beginning of an unprecedented 11-year dominance. The club from Munich has also started very aggressively this time. With Hiroki Ito, Bryan Zaragoza (permanently signed), and Nestory Irankunda, they have already spent 40,000,000 euros. With everything arranged regarding the transfer of Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, that figure will reach a full 100,000,000 euros by next week. All global media reported two days ago that the German giant had beaten Manchester City and Chelsea in the race and reached an agreement with Olise. The new detail in the story is that Palace will earn as much as 60,000,000 euros for one of their best players, including bonuses.Kompany getting some huge young talent to start his Munich projectThis is the fifth most expensive acquisition in Bayern Munich’s history, which speaks volumes about how much Max Eberl and his associates believe in the 22-year-old French international. His purchase definitively resolves one of the biggest dilemmas of recent months – whether the record German champions will finally decide to sell players who are more often sidelined due to injuries than contributing on the field. This, of course, refers to Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman. It is still unclear whether both are for sale or just one. What is certain is that there is more interest in Coman. The arrival of Michael Olise marks the beginning of the reconstruction of Bayern’s attacking quartet. In the future, Olise is expected to play along the right sideline, while Mathys Tel, whom new coach Vincent Kompany wants to give a chance, is expected to operate along the left. The central striker will, logically, be Harry Kane, with Jamal Musiala playing behind him.If Michael Olise completes his move to Bayern Munich he will be their 5th most expensive signing in history 🤑 pic.twitter.com/1f3Of3DEHr— Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) June 23, 2024 Additionally, there are young Irankunda and the experienced Leroy Sané, but it remains to be seen how Kompany envisions the rotation. It is known that both Sané and Irankunda prefer to play along the right sideline, the very position that will be occupied by Olise. Bayern Munich is not only renovating their attack but also working hard on reconstructing their midfield. It seems that the decision has been made to sell Joshua Kimmich this June, as the idea is for Aleksandar Pavlović and João Palhinha to play in the “double pivot” next season. It is well known that Kimmich does not like playing as a classic right-back, preferring instead to leave. If Kimmich were to leave during July or August, Bayern could expect a transfer fee. Otherwise, if he stays, he might leave for free next June. The issue with Kimmich is that he still does not have an agent, and clubs interested in him have to contact him directly. Unofficially, the German international has made a list of five clubs he is interested in and where he could play after Bayern. These clubs are Manchester City (if Guardiola stays), Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Barcelona.Bayern signed a new player! No, Bayer did! No, wait, they did it both!Additionally, Bayern faces another potential departure for free if a contract renewal is not reached. This concerns Alphonso Davies, who has been courted by Real Madrid for some time. According to the latest information, there has been progress in the negotiations between Davies’ agent and Bayern’s management. However, the Munich club had to react and prepare a backup option, thus acquiring Hiroki Ito from Stuttgart, who can cover the left-back position. There is also Raphael Guerreiro in the squad to strengthen the competition. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8173396##
