Bayern Munich could lose the Bundesliga this weekend, after winning it 10 seasons in a row. And his leadership with the coaching staff work for what is coming: in the list of possible reinforcements, the name of Julian Alvarez shines with its own light to reactivate the attack. And next to the Spider is also Kolo Muani, the Frenchman who could not with the Dibu Martínez in the final of the World Cup in Qatar.
After the departure of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona at the end of the previous season, the Germans took Sadio Mané, who first due to an injury (before the World Cup) and then due to an internal scandal, the blow he gave to his teammate Sané, was left with the exit doors open from the club. And with their main offensive reference being the unstable Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Bayern need a top-notch attacker.

Eliminated from the Champions League just by City in the quarterfinals and second in the Bundesliga to a date of the end (Borussia Dortmund snatched the leadership in the anteultimate date), he had to change coach in the middle of the season (Tuchel for Nagelsmann). That's why heavy decisions are coming at one of the heaviest clubs in the world.
Alvarez and Kolo Muani are joined by Harry Kane, who in recent markets made noise with a possible departure from Tottenham that until now did not materialize. The interest in a midfielder is also mentioned and there arise the names of Adrien Rabiot, Mateo Kovacic and Declan Rice as options to negotiate.
Lethal spider
Likewise, it will not be easy for Alvarez to leave Manchester City, which paid him 25,941,457 dollars and enjoyed it since the middle of last year. And in his first season as a citizen, the 23-year-old from Cordoba was able to stand out with Erling Haaland as the starting centre-forward for Pep Guardiola.
It was no coincidence that in March they decided to extend the contract of the former River until 2028, a prize for this magical season of the Cordoban, which still has a couple of chapters to be written.
Nine goals in 29 games (12 starts) in the Premier League, one goal in one game for the Community Shield, one goal in two games for the EFL Cup, three goals in five games for the FA Cup and three goals in 10 games for the Champions are the numbers of Alvarez's first campaign as a citizen player.
Yes, he put it in every tournament he played, turned it around in the Premier League and could add the FA Cup (final against United) and nothing less than the Champions League (final against Inter). Of course, Julian knows that despite the confidence that Pep Guardiola transmits to him, he runs behind in consideration of Erling Haaland and his fearsome firepower. Will that weigh at some point?
