FC Bayern announces the next exit in winter.

Michael Cuisance is moving to FC Venice with immediate effect.

Update from January 3, 3:20 p.m .:

Now the change is fixed! Michael Cuisance is leaving FC Bayern with immediate effect and switching to the Italian Serie A promoted FC Venice. "We would like to thank Michaël Cuisance for his commitment in the FC Bayern jersey and wish him all the best and much success for his future at FC Venice," said FCB sports director Hasan Salihamidzic about the transfer. The amount of the fee was not communicated, according to several media reports it should be four million euros.

The 22-year-old French midfielder came to the German record champions from Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2019.

Cuisance played 13 competitive games (2 goals) for the Bayern professionals and was part of the team that won the triple in 2020.

He ran five times with the amateurs of FC Bayern.

Last season he was loaned to the French first division club Olympique Marseille, for whom he played 30 times and scored 2 goals.

Update from December 30th, 8:01 p.m.:

Michael Cuisance will apparently leave Bayern.

According to

, the

Frenchman has

already arrived for a medical check at FC Venice.

Apparently only details need to be clarified between the first division promoted and Bayern Munich.

Cuisance had recently shown an early departure from the German football record champions and is said to bring the Munich three to four million euros transfer fee.

On request, FC Venice announced on Thursday that the change could not be officially confirmed before the start of the transfer window on January 3.

FC Bayern: Permanent reservist Michael Cuisance before change in winter transfer window

First report from December 30th:

Munich - Michael Cuisance * is the Bayern field player with the fewest playing minutes in the current season.

Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the Frenchman is currently the focus of reporting.

The reason for this is a possible early departure from FC Bayern, where the 22-year-old has not been able to assert himself since his move in summer 2019.

Twelve Bundesliga minutes as well as 44 additional minutes and a goal in the first round of the cup against a fifth division team - so reads Cuisance's sobering result of the season. After his substitution in Stuttgart, coach Julian Nagelsmann already spoke at the press conference about a possible transfer of his reservist. Cuisance himself recently spoke of taking “a step back” in order to get more playing time elsewhere.

In view of its comparatively high transfer fee of eight million euros, which FC Bayern transferred to Gladbach in 2019, from a financial point of view only a fixed transfer with a corresponding fee would be considered.

Last season, Cuisance was awarded to Marseille, where it remained largely pale and was suspended for disciplinary reasons towards the end of the season.

Although Troyes and Metz, two other French first division clubs, are considering loaning the Bayern professional, a sale is the apparently preferred solution.

FC Bayern: Two clubs allegedly submitted high offers for Cuisance - one denied the mega sum

Most recently, Sky Sport reported that two clubs had submitted written offers for the Alsatian.

These were the Serie A newcomers FC Venice and the Russian first division club CSKA Moscow, both clubs are said to have offered around ten million euros for the Cuisance, according to the report.

The Russian capital club made a clear statement on the transfer rumor shortly after the reports in the person of CSKA chief scout Andrey Movsesyan.

“I read that CSKA is said to be offering 10 million for him.

But for me it's too much for a player who hasn't even spent 60 minutes on the field this season, ”the Armenian told the sports broadcaster

.

A move to the army sports club seems to be off the table.

The winter transfer window will open on January 1st and Bavaria’s sports director Hasan Salihamidzic will have his hands full again.

Most recently there were reports about the possible departure of a regular player, so Cuisance is not the only construction site.
