Tanguy Nianzou is dissatisfied and wants to leave Bayern.

The defender is being courted by two French first division clubs.

Munich – FC Bayern has put a big exclamation mark on the transfer market.

After the transfer of Liverpool star Sadio Mané, the record champions have now also officially signed defender Matthijs de Ligt.

The Munich team was able to win over two absolute world-class players.

So the pressure in the squad is increasing and things are getting tight for some players in defence.

Sports director Hasan Salihamidžić is planning a departure on the defensive.

FC Bayern: Nianzou was about to jump in winter – is the defender going this time?

There are increasing signs that Tanguy Nianzou will leave the record champions this summer.

There were already rumors in winter that the defensive talent would be leaving.

is reporting that the 20-year-old is about to leave.

The youngster longs for more playing time and is therefore pushing for a return to Ligue 1. In 2020 he moved from Paris Saint-Germain to Munich.

Since then, Nianzou has repeatedly been dissatisfied with his playing times, even if his role as a challenger for the regular places is actually clearly defined.

In the few starting eleven appearances, he was also rarely able to convince.

For example against Arminia Bielefeld, when he caught his eye with an overly hard approach and was given an "educational measure" by coach Julian Nagelsmann.

The French first division clubs Stade Rennes and OGC Nice are said to be trying to attract the 20-year-old.
