FC Bayern is reportedly planning to fly to the USA in mid-July.
There could be a duel with Manchester City at Green Bay Packers' Lambeau Field and a reunion with Pep Guardiola.
Munich - It is a ritual that is not popular with all fans.
In the summer, after a two-year absence, it's that time again: FC Bayern Munich is going on a big summer trip!
As in 2019, FC Bayern is planning a trip to the USA in July 2022, reports the
Bild
newspaper.
July 18th to 25th is targeted.
The destinations of the so-called "Audi Summer Tour" should be Washington and Green Bay.
In the legendary Lambeau Field, the stadium of the Green Bay Packers, there will be a reunion with Pep Guardiola when Manchester City meets FC Bayern.
Contrary to initial plans, a trip to Mexico was allegedly rejected.
Bayern Munich vs. Manchester City: Thomas Müller's dream duel
Thomas Müller has been waiting for a duel with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City for six years.
Guardiola shaped FC Bayern.
“The dominant style of play that he teaches his teams is something special and I would personally like to have the experience of playing against it as an opponent.
That would be exciting,” revealed Müller.
However, the 32-year-old was referring to a competitive game.
In 2018, FC Bayern played a friendly against Manchester City in Miami as part of the so-called International Champions Cup.
At that time, the Skyblues won 3-2 against the Reds.

FC Bayern: What do the marketing trips bring to the people of Munich?
FC Bayern has been doing marketing trips since 2014, mostly to China or the USA.
The Asia tour in 2017 alone is said to have brought in almost 14 million euros for the people of Munich.
For only 13 days in Singapore and China!
Merchandising revenue isn't even included, it's just money from the tournament organizers and sponsors.
In the USA, football is particularly popular with young people, and the market is not yet saturated.
In 2016, FC Barcelona was the most popular soccer club in the United States, followed by Real Madrid and Manchester United.
FC Bayern Munich followed in 7th place. FC Bayern must be present in order to be able to fully exploit its potential in the USA, the competition from England and Spain does not sleep off the field either.
