FC Bayern continues to be the measure of all things in the Bundesliga.

Nevertheless, the record champions are looking for reinforcements.

Ex-boss Rummenigge brings a European champion into play.

Munich - It's winter break in the Bundesliga.

While the ball is resting in the German soccer stadiums, the transfer carousel is slowly picking up speed.

Like every year around this time, the rumor mill is seething.

Particularly in focus: the top talents of the European leagues.

FC Bayern * is also looking around the transfer market - if not for this winter, then at least for the next change window in summer.

The former Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge * now connects a European champion with the German record champion *.

Rummenigge heats transfer rumors: "A player for FC Bayern"

We're talking about Federico Chiesa.

The 24-year-old offensive talent shone at the EM this year and helped the Italians with two tournament goals on the way to the title.

The strong performances of the young striker, who is currently on loan from Fiorentina to Juventus Turin, also caught Rummenigge's eye.

"I can confirm that he is a great player," said the ex-Bayern boss to the Italian broadcaster

.

"Chiesa has always shown that, in the national team, at Juve and Fiorentina," he continued.

But that's not all.

“He's a player for FC Bayern,” Rummenigge fueled speculation about a possible move to Säbener Straße *.

FC Bayern: Nagelsmann thinks Chiesa is "outstanding"

For Julian Nagelsmann Chiesa is * incidentally Last summer, the Bayern coach said at "a great player because he embodies incredible vigor and dynamism."

: "I've known him for long and find it outstanding, because he's so easygoing, often goes into dribbling, looks for a degree very quickly. "

Chiesa transfer to Bayern?

Price could be a problem

The catch: Chiesa is likely to be very expensive in the coming transfer summer. According to

the Italian's market value is

currently 70 million euros. In addition, Juventus * is reported to have a purchase obligation for the 24-year-old if you qualify for the Champions League *. Chiesa would have to play at least 60 percent of the games for at least half an hour or contribute ten hits and ten templates. The “old lady” is currently only fifth in Serie A after a disappointing first half of the season.

If the conditions for Juve's purchase obligation are not met, Chiesa will initially return to Florence.

Italian media assume that at least 100 million euros would be due for a transfer of the top talent in the summer.

Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea should be ready to pay this sum.

According to

, the “Blues” are currently in the lead in the race for the European champions.

But maybe FC Bayern is still in between - and makes a new record transfer *.

So far it's Lucas Hernandez.

For the French, the Munich transferred around 80 million euros to Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019.
