Munich - Hasan Salihamidzic was there live on Monday evening in the furious 6: 1 of the "small Bayern" against the Halle FC *. The sports director of the record champion watched the fourth consecutive win of FC Bayern II.
Hasan Salihamidzic sees the future of Bayern Munich
Joshua Zirkzee , who had scored his first two Bundesliga goals at the end of the first half of the season, scored against the East Germans as well as new signing Nicolas Kühn . Lars Lukas Mai acted confidently as defense chief, and New Zealander Sarpreet Singh played on the ten. Salihamidzic may have seen the future of his squad at Bayern in the Grünwald stadium.
Which seasoned star will wear the jersey of the double winner in the future will not be decided in the coming months for several professionals. Because: In the summer of 2021, contracts for eight players will expire on Säbener Straße.
In particular, it is about: Manuel Neuer, Sven Ulreich, Jerome Boateng, David Alaba, Javi Martinez, Thiago and Ron-Thorben Hoffmann . Hoffmann, who is currently only a substitute in the second team, is unlikely to stay. We explain what the tendency is for the more prominent names:

"There are no signals. There is nothing we can announce, ”said the 33-year-old national goalkeeper at Sky about possible contract negotiations. Shortly afterwards, Bild and Sport Bild reported that all discussions would be put on hold - except for Neuer.
Does the privilege help to agree with the experienced? According to Kicker , Neuer disturbs the long-term unresolved coach question. The trend: he is still extending - and signs a pension contract in Munich .
Sven Ulreich: Too bad for number three
The Swabian Ulreich is the eternal number two at Bayern . And in summer Alexander Nübel from FC Schalke comes.
“If I had the opportunity to play regularly elsewhere, or at least more regularly than here, I would switch and want to take this step. I also feel like it, "said 31-year-old Ulreich last Sport1: " I am open to everything and can also imagine going abroad. "
The trend: Ulreich will leave the club in the summer and Bayern will accommodate him for his services to the club in terms of transfer.
Jerome Boateng: Center-back wanted to leave several times
If it were up to Jerome Boateng , the Berliner would probably no longer be in Munich . The 31-year-old is said to have forced a change several times - so far to no avail.

As the picture reported, the Bavarians allegedly refused to transfer 40 million euros from PSG in the summer of 2018.
"I had inquiries from Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, I dealt with it," the defender explained to the picture shortly afterwards - and told SZ about discussions with Paris coach Thomas Tuchel : "We talked about how he talked about football thinks what his idea is in Paris and also what role I could play in it - I liked everything very much. ”
The trend: Boateng, whose love for ex-GNTM model Kasia Lenhardt had only recently become public, is allowed to leave Bavaria this time. Should a suitable customer be found.
David Alaba: Austrians express change ideas
Alaba has repeatedly expressed change ideas in recent months. Sport1 said the Austrian: "I can imagine both: to stay here or to take a different route."
Now Bayern's defense chief said in an interview with The Times : "I can imagine playing anywhere else." FC Barcelona is always associated with the 27-year-old.
The trend: more salary, perspective Champions League victory - FC Bayern will need strong arguments to convince Alaba of a long-term stay.
Javi Martinez: Athletic Bilbao aggressively woos his ex-player
The Spaniard has only played 559 minutes in this Bundesliga season, most recently due to a muscle bundle tear. Basque television broadcaster ETB reported in late autumn that its home club Athletic Bilbao was working on a return campaign.
Bilbao President Aitor Elizegi previously said: “Athletic can easily raise 20 million euros for Martínez . We have the capacity to pay this price. From an economic point of view, that would not be a problem. "
The trend : an extension of Martinez in Munich is unlikely. He is considered very close to home - good opportunities for Athletic.
Thiago: The name FC Barcelona keeps coming up
Thiago is also home- bound , and after six and a half years FC Bayern speaks hardly any German publicly.

There are always rumors about him and his former club FC Barcelona . According to the Spanish sports newspaper Don Balon, Bayern would be willing to let Thiago go for a transfer fee of 50 million euros.
The then Barca sports director Pep Segura had not denied an interest in Thiago in 2019 on the radio station Cadena SER .
The trend: Thiago is leaving Bavaria for Spain in the summer.
Thomas Müller: FC Bayern without his identification figure?
That leaves Thomas Müller , the epitome of the Upper Bavarian football soul. With his wife Lisa, he built up a horse stud and domicile in rural Otterfing south of Munich - near his home in Weilheim. That he would really give up?
"I'm currently not interested in this EM at all. I'm interested in this coat of arms! ”, The 30-year-old world champion recently told Sky about a possible return to the DFB team and the European Football Championship 2020:“ We want to win titles! If possible, three pieces ... "
The trend: Thomas Müller , like Neuer, will sign a pension contract with FC Bayern and end his career in Munich .
pm
