FC Bayern: Thilo Kehrer before transfer - defender could solve defensive problems
Kehrer could now end up at Bayern with a delay. According to
L'Équipe
, the former head coach Hansi Flick proposed a transfer to Kehrers a year ago. At that time, those responsible had refused an obligation, after the departures of David Alaba, Jerome Boateng and Javi Martinez in the summer, a rethink may have taken place.
With Kehrer, the new coach Julian Nagelsmann would have an all-purpose weapon in defense.
The 24-year-old can fill almost any position defensively and is mostly used in central defense or on the right side of defense.
Kehrer would be the logical solution in a thinned FCB defense.
Lucas Hernandez and Benjamin Pavard are currently injured.
Right in the back four, youngster Josip Stanisic last represented Bouna Sarr, who is considered a sales candidate.

FC Bayern: Kehrer transfer could be a bargain
Kehrer moved from his youth club FC Schalke to France in 2018, when PSG put 37 million euros on the table.
For Bayern, through whom the native Tübingen would like to recommend himself for the German national team, he could now be significantly cheaper.
Kehrer made 97 competitive games for PSG in three years, but was not a regular.
In central defense, the duo around captain Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe was set, and he often had to help out on the right side.
In the first three competitive games of the current season, Kehrer played the entire season in central defense.
Bayern had recently shown interest in a German PSG colleague.
