According to consistent media reports, Bayern have secured two clauses in the sale of Zirkzee to Bologna. On the one hand, the German record champions are said to have a buyback option of around 20 million euros, and on the other hand, there is also said to be a 50 percent resale stake.
So if the Gunners were serious about their efforts to sign Zirkzee, FC Bayern would also benefit. According to transfermarkt.de, the striker's current market value is 30 million euros.
Al-Hilal likely to show interest in Guerreiro
Update from January 12, 2024, 12:25 p.m.: Windy rumor from France! According to L'Equipe, Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal are interested in signing Bayern's Raphaël Guerreiro. Al-Hilal, Neymar's current employer, are looking for a left-back and, according to the French newspaper, have enquired with Bayern about a loan with an option to buy.
In addition to Guerreiro, Aston Villa's Lucas Digne is also said to be on the Saudi club's list. However, a departure of Guerreiro, who only moved to the Isar on a free transfer last summer, is more than unlikely. On the one hand, FCB coach Thomas Tuchel is a big fan of the Portuguese, and on the other hand, Bayern simply cannot afford to give up a defensive force. With Minjae Kim and Noussair Mazraoui, Tuchel currently has two defensive players unavailable due to the Asian and African Cups.
In addition, Bayern is trying to strengthen the already thin defense in the winter transfer window. As is well known, the German record champions were able to present their first new signing Eric Dier on Thursday (11 January).
There, no end in sight – is FCB poaching in Turkey?
First reported on January 12, 2024: Munich – Bayern officially announced their first new signing, Eric Dier from Tottenham Hotspur, on Thursday. The 29-year-old Englishman impresses above all with his flexibility, after all, he can defend inside and right in defence, but also feels comfortable in defensive midfield. Dier was initially loaned out until next summer, after which FC Bayern have the opportunity to sign him permanently.
FC Bayern probably interested in Boey from Galatasaray
However, the German record champions are still looking for reinforcements for the right side of defence, as this position is currently very thin due to the secondment of Noussair Mazraoui for the Africa Cup of Nations. In addition to PSG's Nordi Mukiele, Bayern are said to be interested in Galatasaray Istanbul's Sacha Boey, according to a report by Sky.

The Frenchman only moved from Stade Rennes to Istanbul in 2021 and still has a contract with Gala until 2025. As Sky reports, "nothing stands in the way" of an agreement with the player. However, the negotiations with the Turkish runners-up could be more complicated, as Boey is a regular at Galatasaray. According to transfermarkt.de, the 23-year-old has a market value of 22 million euros, but according to tz information, the transfer fee for him will be a maximum of 15 million euros.

A signing of Boey could gain momentum if the negotiations between FC Bayern and PSG for Mukiele come to a standstill. According to Sky, Boey would then be the "new top alternative" for Bayern. The kicker reports that the Parisians are willing to loan the Frenchman to Munich, but at the same time demand an obligation to buy for the coming summer. Outcome of negotiations: uncertain. (kus)
