Targeted opponent weakening? RB boss confirms: FCB wanted another Leipzig

Marcel Sabitzer wasn't enough: FC Bayern wanted to sign another player from RB Leipzig.

Is it the FCB to weaken the competition?

Munich - It's a reproach that never gets old: Does FC Bayern * weaken its competitors in the Bundesliga * with transfers?

In the past few seasons, RB Leipzig has become the toughest competitor for the Munich team for the German championship.

Now coach Julian Nagelsmann *, defense chief Dayot Upamecano and captain Marcel Sabitzer have moved three of the most important RB pillars to Bayern.

Leipzig's managing director Oliver Mintzlaff now reveals: FC Bayern was in contact with another of its players - Konrad Laimer.

"There was contact between FC Bayern and the player, but not between Bayern and us," Mintzlaff told

.

FC Bayern wanted to bring third player from Leipzig - "They like to cause unrest"

In Leipzig people reacted calmly to this.

“This approach is not new to us.

That is the normal procedure at FC Bayern.

Of course, the Bavarians like to cause a little unrest in our home, but also in other clubs ”, Mintzlaff lets himself be carried away with a swipe.

The bottom line is that the Munich team did not come to an agreement with Laimer, who could have been an option for the right-hand side.

Nonetheless, Nagelsmann made a promise that he made when he left Leipzig: "I won't go to Munich in a T6 and take one or two players from Leipzig with me," he said.

Nevertheless, he took Sabitzer with him, and Upamecano was already certain.

Would he have resisted a commitment from Laimer?

Hardly likely.

FC Bayern poaching at RB Leipzig - Müller does not want to know anything about it

Thomas Müller * has now also commented on the allegations that FC Bayern would specifically take away the best players from its biggest competitor. Destroy Leipzig? "Under no circumstance. No club has an obligation to sell, see Paris and Mbappé. Like every club, FC Bayern is on the lookout for quality that fits into the budget, ”he says. “Clubs that are dangerous to us in the table for years inevitably have good staff. It's normal to look around at these clubs in the same league, you don't have to worry about any problems getting used to it. "

In line with the discussion, Bayern's opponent is called RB Leipzig on Saturday. The Bayern fans have to fear Müller's commitment, because he is still struggling with an adductor injury, because of which he had to leave the DFB team. He does not yet know whether he will be fit in time. “The problems came out of nowhere. It doesn't look like a serious story. We look from day to day. ”
