FC Bayern keeps its eyes open on the transfer market.
Another Bundesliga star has moved into the focus of the record champions.
Munich / Mönchengladbach - FC Bayern * has been said to have been interested in Marcel Sabitzer from RB Leipzig for days.
Should the parties not come to an agreement, the Austrian would probably only move to Munich in the summer and then on a free transfer.
Bayern urgently need reinforcements for the thinned squad this season.
That is why the club is also dealing with other candidates just a few days before the transfer window * closes.
According to several media reports, another Bundesliga star is on the Red's shopping list.
FC Bayern: Jonas Hofmann as a transfer option - Plan B for Sabitzer?
Jonas Hofmann from Borussia Mönchengladbach * was once in the focus of Bayern - this time a transfer could get serious.
Sport Bild
and
Sport1
report on Munich's interest in the German national player. Accordingly, the bosses have already felt loosely at Hofmann and his management whether he could imagine moving to Munich. The
kicker also
reports an initial contact.
The versatile Hofmann can take any position in midfield and would even be an alternative for the flank.
Ex-national coach Jogi Löw is said to have planned with the 29-year-old as a right-back until he was injured before the European Championship.
Last season Hofmann attracted attention with 17 goals in 24 Bundesliga games.
In June there was already speculation about a possible interest in Bavaria.
"If you ask, I'll probably listen to it," Hofmann told
Sport1
at the time

Bayern scare Hofmann before change?
Nagelsmann is already a fan
Hofmann has been playing in Mönchengladbach for five years and still has a contract until 2023. According to
Sport1
,
there is
no
release clause
, so a transfer fee of 22 million euros is called. The Gladbachers around sports director Max Eberl * have apparently lowered their former 40 million price tag. Another point in favor of a transfer is that FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann * is a fan of Hofmann's style of play, they both know and appreciate each other.
In any case, Hofmann recently did a lot of self-promotion in the direct duels with FC Bayern.
In Munich's 3-2 defeat at Borussia-Park at the beginning of the year, the midfielder delivered a gala and turned the game almost single-handedly with two goals and an assist.
In the 1-1 draw on the first matchday the penultimate week, he brought life to life after being substituted on.
Hofmann or Sabitzer or even both?
The transfer summer around FC Bayern promises a lot of excitement in the final sprint.
