FC Bayern Munich starts the new Bundesliga season on August 13th.
Is there a transfer surprise beforehand?
Munich - Julian Nagelsmann * had actually put it clearly.
"I'm not going to rent a T6 now to go to Munich and have one or two good players from Leipzig with me," he said at an RB press conference at the end of April.
A good three months later, the new Bayern coach made his debut at the record champions * behind him.
The balance so far: four games, three bankruptcies, a draw, a postponed DFB Cup game, a number of injuries.
The last circumstance in particular raises the question of whether the Munich team will not be active on the transfer market again.
And that's exactly where Leipzig could become interesting again.
So is Nagelsmann's VW bus still filling up?
FC Bayern Munich: transfer quake in the Bundesliga?
Leipzig's Marcel Sabitzer is obviously an issue
As the
picture
now reports, Marcel Sabitzer should be an issue at Bayern.
The Austrian only has one contract until 2022, so RB could only generate a transfer fee this summer.
An extension for the Red Bulls * is unlikely, because: Sabitzer finally wants a title!
And this chance is most likely to come from a top club like FC Bayern.
Marcel Sabitzer
March 17, 1994 (27), Graz, Austria
Central midfield
Market value: 42 million euros
Contract with RB Leipzig: until June 2022
The 27-year-old has proven his class time and again in the recent past and was always set under Nagelsmann.
He even made him captain.
Sabitzer is incredibly variable, can play any position in a five-man midfield: He would be the alternative for Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka in the central midfield, can act a little more offensively on the ten and is even an option for the wings in an emergency.
Sabitzer brings everything the Bavarians are looking for.
Marcel Sabitzer to FC Bayern Munich?
Julian Nagelsmann actually didn't want to poach near Leipzig
But how do you finance such a top man?
From a Munich perspective, the short contract period is a plus.
According to the
picture
, “18 million euros plus X are under discussion”.
Money that Bayern don't really have left.
Actually only when you start earning money again through sales.

Two other central midfielders play an important role: Michael Cuisance and Corentin Tolisso. The two French are considered sales candidates, with this income Bayern * could finance a Sabitzer deal relatively easily. That leaves Nagelsmann and the T6 promise. Is he really poaching at his ex-club? Leipzig's commercial director for sport, Florian Scholz, told the
picture
: “We have no request.” It will be an exciting summer transfer.
