FC Bayern Munich would like to strengthen itself prominently in the summer. So must a world champion now be sold to make room in the squad?
- FC Bayern is working hard on the squad for the coming season.
- Corentin Tolisso is said to be sold in the summer.
- Does the record master want to make room for Kai Havertz ?
Update from February 12, 4:15 p.m .: Corentin Tolisso did not go really well in the first half of the season. Regardless of whether the coach was called Niko Kovac or Hansi Flick , there was only one place on the substitute bench for the French world champion instead of a place in the starting eleven.
The fact that Tolisso’s fate is being watched closely in Europe’s football scene should have been clear to the midfielder’s reputation. According to information from the kicker on Deadline Day, none other than Manchester United reported to FC Bayern and asked about the possibility of a short-term loan transaction .
The Bayern bosses put a stop to the deal because the staff at the record champions with the many battered and injured players was already very thin at the end of January.
It will be interesting to see how Hasan Salihamidzic and Co. would react if the Red Devils' request for a summer transfer came in the coming days ...
Javi Martinez said in an interview how he could imagine walking around the square. He would wear an unusual accessory that made a European football legend famous before him. In the game against 1. FC Köln (with us in the live ticker) on February 16, Martinez will probably have to pause. Perhaps he is fashionable in the stands.
Bayern: Corentin Tolisso to be sold - will a DFB jewel come instead?
Munich - Even if it's only February, the squad planning * for the coming season at Bayern * is already in full swing. The main aim is to extend the contracts of Captain Manuel Neuer , Thomas Müller or Thiago, which expire in 2021 .
But Hasan Salihamidzic is already preparing the way for new signings . The transfer from Leroy Sané * to FC Bayern has been in the room for months. In addition, the record champions are said to be very interested in young international Kai Havertz. Both transfers could break the 100 million euro barrier.
Bayern: no future for Tolisso - does he have to go because of Havertz?
That means: FC Bayern needs money on the one hand - and on the other hand space in the squad. Therefore, according to information, the picture Corentin Tolisso should be saying goodbye in the summer. For the French world champion, the record champion hopes for a decent transfer - the Bavarians paid 41.5 million to Olympique Lyon in the summer of 2017.

The midfielder on the Isar has not yet managed to get through. Due to injury (cruciate ligament rupture), he was hardly used last season. Also this season Hansi Flick * mostly relies on Thiago , Joshua Kimmich , Leon Goretzka or Philippe Coutinho. Tolisso is just a rotation player.
The 2018 world champion was used in 19 games across all seasons, but only made ten appearances. For Tolisso himself, too, that is not the requirement. Therefore, the 25-year-old should deal with a farewell himself.
Corentin Tolisso: does the Frenchman leave Bayern?
So the picture continues to report that only an outstanding second half of Tolisso could lead to a turn. Say: If the midfield star does not play an outstanding role by summer, the signs will be goodbye .
The possible transfer for Tolisso could be invested in one of FC Bayern's two desired properties. Because for both Sané and Havertz , the Bavarians would have to dig deep into their pockets. Another reason for a possible Tolisso farewell : DFB youngster Havertz would not reduce the competitive situation in the central midfield - and would allow the Frenchman even fewer deployment times.
