claims to have learned, FC Bayern should be willing to let the substitute striker go in the event of a suitable offer – regardless of the fact that there could be a lack of offensive forces as a result.

In Munich, too, Choupo-Moting was mostly in demand as a substitute.
In 57 competitive games for the German record champions, he scored 18 times and added six more goals.
In his 25 appearances in the past season alone, he came off the bench 23 times.
In 25 seasons, Choupo-Moting came off the bench 23 times.
