According to Oliver Kahn, everything at FC Bayern is under scrutiny, and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic also has to prove himself – under difficult circumstances.

Munich – FC Bayern Munich is working flat out on the squad for the new season these days.

As Ajax professional Kenneth Taylor revealed, his teammate Ryan Gravenberch's commitment to FCB is apparently certain.

Nevertheless, Julian Nagelsmann should give the width of the Bayern squad to think about, as reported by

Sport1

.

Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic is in a dilemma with the other people in charge: How much risk can and must FC Bayern take?

In any case, the 45-year-old has to make convincing decisions, his contract expires on June 30, 2023.

FC Bayern: Hasan Salihamidzic on the test bench

Last Monday there was a big supervisory board meeting at FC Bayern.

As

Sport 1

reports, none of the Bayern bosses are said to have spoken out against Salihamidzic.

However, talks about a contract extension are said to be on hold for the moment.

Salihamidzic has to deliver in the coming weeks and defy the pressure from different directions.

FC Bayern: Financial losses reduce the scope for action

At the end of last year, the record champions announced sales losses of over 100 million euros in the two Corona years.

However, a profit of 1.9 million euros remained, which was a satisfactory result compared to other Bundesliga clubs (comparative value: Borussia Dortmund made a loss of 73 million euros).

Nevertheless, the Corona period threw FC Bayern back in comparison to the Premier League clubs.

Salihamidzic's goal now is to secure Bayern's long-term well-being.

"Basically, it is inherent in the system that a trainer has more short-term success in mind and that a sports director also has to calculate in the medium to long term," explained CEO Herbert Hainer last year.

FC Bayern: Julian Nagelsmann is pushing for newcomers

Trainer Nagelsmann logically thinks primarily of the squad for the new season.

In addition to the fixed summer transfer from Noussair Mazraoui, who is moving to Munich free of charge, the other transfer targets would involve high investments.

"At some point you have to take a risk.

At this point we are right now, to think carefully and to observe what is happening on the market and in the team," said Nagelsmann recently.

"If I don't take the risk, the probability of reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League is lower," added the ambitious Landsberger.

Before the game against Mainz at

DAZN

, Oliver Kahn spoke of building a squad “that can win the Champions League”.

However, Kahn emphasized that he is talking about the next few years.

FC Bayern: How is Salihamidzic approaching the transfer summer?

Salihamidzic basically rates his team as “very good”.

The sports director wants to strengthen the squad across the board, on this point he now seems to have the same opinion as Nagelsmann.

“We have ideas and give our all, but we have limits and not an infinite amount of money.

We have to be creative," emphasized the Bosnian.

According to Sport 1

, there shouldn't be a "personal clinch" between Salihamidzic and Nagelsmann

, despite the many differences of opinion.

The daily exchange should endure.
