In addition to the search for a striker, FC Bayern is also looking into the six-man position. A new option could now come from Catalonia.

Munich – The current season does not satisfy those responsible at FC Bayern Munich, which is why they want to become active on the transfer market in the summer. Among other things, a partner is to be found for Joshua Kimmich to support him. His current player, Leon Goretzka, is currently in a slump in form.

Previous clubs:VfB Stuttgart, RB Leipzig, FC Bayern Munich
Market value:80 million euros (transfermarkt.de)

Vacancy in the six-man position

It is well known that FC Bayern want to sign a striker this summer. The second goal in the squad planning is to strengthen the squad with a defensive midfielder. Hasan Salihamidžić and his team are currently exploring the transfer market for suitable alternatives.

Rumours about the signing of Konrad Laimer appear again and again in the media. The RB Leipzig midfielder would be available on a free transfer in the summer and could strengthen Bayern. However, a whole new opportunity is now opening up from Spain.

Sergio Busquets: Defensive midfielder with title gene

On Wednesday, FC Barcelona and Sergio Busquets announced that the midfielder's contract, which expires in the summer, will not be renewed. The 34-year-old faces an uncertain future after more than 700 games for Barca. And is therefore automatically a candidate for FC Bayern.

Busquets was able to win all sorts of titles with both the club and the national team. In any case, he has the built-in title gene, which is needed at the German record champions. He could cost-effectively close the gap next to Kimmich.

An option for FC Bayern?

At 34 years of age, Busquets is undoubtedly in the late autumn of his career. It is quite possible that he will be looking for a new challenge after 15 years as a professional in Barcelona. With his experience, he would definitely be good for FC Bayern, especially in the current volatile phase.

He fits into the player profile that those responsible are looking for. As a defensive midfielder, he could have Kimmich's back and give him the freedom he needs. Despite all this, the record champions would probably be better advised to put a younger player with potential at Kimmich's side. Fitness in old age and adaptation to a new country with a new culture are absolute risk factors. (jari)
