Daley Blind before moving to Bayern Munich: Replacement for injured Lucas Hernandez
Why Daley Blind?
After Lucas Hernandez's cruciate ligament rupture, Bayern are currently lacking a real alternative for left-back if Alphonso Davies were to fail.
Apparently, this was found very quickly and very cheaply, because: Blind's contract with Ajax Amsterdam was terminated shortly after Christmas.
Accordingly, he can change free of charge.
Blind and Ajax had separated by mutual agreement.
The defensive all-rounder said goodbye to his youth club with critical words.
"This isn't how I imagined my end at Ajax, but due to circumstances it happened that way," he wrote on Twitter at the time.
According to the media, one reason for the separation was a breach of trust with coach Alfred Schreuder, who is known in Germany from his Hoffenheim days.
Daley Blind: Contract with Ajax Amsterdam terminated, free transfer to FC Bayern
The transfer picked up speed immediately after Christmas.
A breakthrough was finally achieved during the night from Wednesday to Thursday.
Blind has played 99 international matches for the Netherlands so far and was used in all five games at the 2022 World Cup.
Bayern's contacts in the Dutch capital are not only excellent because of the Gravenberch transfer from last summer, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic and technical director Marco Neppe are generally very well connected.
According to reports, the contact came about through the agent Kees Vos, who recently directed World Cup shooting star Cody Gakpo to Liverpool FC.
Since Blind is currently without a contract, he is moving to Munich on a free transfer - so Brazzo and his team have once again done a great job.
