FC Bayern is preparing for the future when it comes to transfers.

Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic should get more power with a new transfer strategy.

Munich – At FC Bayern * there are some construction sites to deal with next summer.

After the collapsed contract extension with central defender Niklas Süle, the shoe pinches, especially on the defensive.

That's why sports director Hasan Salihamidzic should get more decision-making power at Bayern.

CEO Oliver Kahn is now equipping Brazzo with more transfer power than ever before.

FC Bayern: More transfer power for Salihamidzic

Salihamidzic should now be able to act faster and more flexibly with purchases and sales, reports

.

The new model is based on two predetermined metrics that define Brazzo's transfer leeway.

According to the report, this is about the total salary of the squad and a limit for transfer expenses.

In plain language: Salihamidzic can move freely within this framework and has more personal responsibility.

For example, the 45-year-old can now decide whether to sign a certain player without major consultation.

The only hurdle: If a player leaves FC Bayern on a free transfer, an equivalent replacement must be found without the financial framework changing as a result.

This is what makes the personal Niklas Süle so interesting at the moment, who will leave the record champions in the summer for free.

Bayern had allegedly presented Süle with a new contract with an estimated annual salary of ten million euros.

Salihamidzic now has this amount available for a replacement.

However, without transfer income, Brazzo is limited by sales from other professionals when paying transfer fees.

This is another reason why Chelsea defenders Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rüdiger are considered potential Süle successors.

Both defenders would be available for free in the summer.

According to

, Bayern are trying very hard for the Dane.

National player Rüdiger, on the other hand, seems to be inclined to stay in London, and Real Madrid is more appealing to him abroad.

Denis Zakaria from Borussia Mönchengladbach is another candidate, with the Swiss there are said to have already been concrete talks.

FC Bayern: New transfer strategy for the future

Bavaria's new transfer strategy should be future-oriented.

There was already the Alaba case last year, now the Süle case, painful free transfers must be avoided from now on.

Therefore, the stars should be extended two years before the end of the contract.

At Kingsley Coman, this plan has recently been put into practice, and the Frenchman has signed a new contract until 2027.

Serge Gnabry and Captain Manuel Neuer are to follow.

In addition, Bayern want to force transfers early so as not to miss them.

That worked out well for Dayot Upamecano, the Frenchman's move from Leipzig to Munich was announced last February.

Bayern have been dealing with the 19-year-old Czech Adam Hlozek from Sparta Prague as Lewandowski back-up for two years.

There are said to have already been loose talks with Germany's super talent Florian Wirtz from Leverkusen.
