Super bargain for Bayern? Quite a few stars are without a club - including a 60 million man

Will FC Bayern be active again on the transfer market?

Big jumps will no longer be possible this summer - but maybe there is a bargain hidden somewhere.

Munich - The new season is getting closer and closer. FC Bayern Munich * is not yet in its usual form. Because in the previous four test matches under Julian Nagelsmann there has not been a single win! Who would have thought? At least the new coach can now fall back on all the players that the squad has to offer. In the meantime, the last EM drivers have also started training.

All the players the squad has to offer: these are far fewer than planned. Because with Alphonso Davies, Lucas Hernandez, Marc Roca, Corentin Tolisso and Christian Früchtl, some actors are currently injured. In addition, Kingsley Coman had to be replaced last *, there were also concerns about Niklas Süle and Leon Goretzka. So maybe Bayern need some reinforcement after all? Oliver Kahn recently actually ruled out that Munich would be active again on the transfer market. The reasons are clear: The industry leader is also lacking income due to the corona crisis, so the transfer wallet is correspondingly thin.

But maybe there is still a free transfer bargain for FCB * in the summer sales?

We took a look at the players currently without a club and rated them with a point system (quality of the player, appropriate salary, usefulness and probability of a transfer).

Here comes the tz.de free transfer check (as of August 3).

FC Bayern: Transfer-News - Clubless players to Munich?

Candidate 1: Nikola Maksimovic

• Nikola Maksimovic

• Central defender

• 29 years

• 10 million euros market value

Boateng and Alaba gone, Hernandez injured.

Maybe Bayern are thinking about a free transfer from Nikola Maksimovic?

The Serb was last under contract in Naples, the working paper was not extended.

The central defender made 17 appearances in Serie A last season. Most recently, a corona infection threw him off track.

The defender may actually end up in Germany - but more likely in the capital.

Hertha is supposedly interested.

Candidate 2: Alex Teixeira

• Alex Teixeira

• Attacking midfielder

• 31 years

He has won his games all over the world, now Alex Teixeira is without a club.

The Brazilian caused a sensation especially during his time at Shakhtar Donetsk.

Five times champions, four times Super Cup winners, three times cup winners, two times top scorer - Teixeira cleared well in Ukraine.

During this time, the midfielder also took part in the Champions League five times, and finally moved to China in 2016.

For 50 million euros!

Five years later there is not much left of the former glory.

Candidate 3: Diego Costa

• Diego Costa

• striker

• 32 years

• 6 million euros market value

• Last club: Atletico Madrid

You don't have to give him a great introduction: Diego Costa has scored in all competitions over the past ten years and has now been one of the best strikers in the world. He delivered regularly to Atletico Madrid and Chelsea FC, but now his time seems to be running out. After all, the native Brazilian with the Spanish passport is now 32 years old and his last period at Atleti no longer went as desired: Costa made 61 league games in the past four years, scoring only twelve goals. The Madrilenians had brought the brawny attacker back from Chelsea for 60 million euros in 2017, three years earlier he had been given to Stamford Bridge for 38 million euros. His record in London was incredible, Costa was unstoppable at times.Scandals accompanied Costa's career again and again - which is why his time in Spain has now come to an end.

Candidate 4: Clément Grenier

• Clement Grenier

• Central midfielder

• 30 years

• 4 million euros market value

• Last club: Stade Rennes

Most recently it was leaked that Bayern may still be looking for a central midfielder. Maybe Clément Grenier fulfills the Nagelsmann requirements? The central midfielder recently finished sixth in the French league with Rennes and contributed seven goals in 23 appearances. But he was no longer an absolute regular in Brittany. Grenier was once predicted to have a great career, and was even traded as the new Zidane. But he was never really able to meet the high expectations. Of the names on the list of players without a contract, he still makes the most sense for FC Bayern - although Grenier's commitment is extremely unlikely. Even if the French seem to feel very comfortable in Munich,The record champions currently have seven players from the neighboring country in their squad.

Clubless players before transfers?

More stars on the list

• Jerome Boateng, central defender, 32, 8.5 million euros market value, FC Bayern Munich

• Nicolas N'Koulou, central defender, EUR 31.5 million market value, Torino FC

• David Luiz, central defender, 34.4 million euros market value, Arsenal FC

• Franck Ribéry, left winger, 38.3 million euros market value, Fiorentina

• Olivier Ntcham, central midfielder, € 25.3 million market value, Celtic Glasgow

• Shkodran Mustafi, central defender, 29, 2.5 million euros market value, Schalke 04

With a look at the list, it quickly becomes clear: Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic will have to look for other alternatives if he wants to be active on the transfer market again.

It is not considered that these players will wear Bayern red this summer.

Perhaps Brazzo will still conjure up last-minute solutions out of the hat?

It was the same last season: FC Bayern made four new signings at the last minute in 2020: Marc Roca (9 million euros, Espanyol Barcelona), Douglas Costa (loan, Juventus Turin), Bouna Sarr (8 million euros , Olympique Marseille) and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (free transfer, Paris Saint-Germain).
