Is FC Bayern facing a change in the summer?
With the Argentinian Matías Soule, a potential new signing for Bayern has now emerged.
Munich – FC Bayern's crisis situation will sooner or later have personnel consequences.
While coach Thomas Tuchel is subject to great criticism, the development of some FCB stars in the second half of the season is also being closely examined.
Summer sales are not excluded.
New entries are mandatory.
One of the candidates could be the young Argentine Matías Soulé, who is under contract with Juventus Turin and is currently on loan at newly promoted Frosinone.
An initial contact has apparently already been established through an intermediary.
This is reported by the
Gazzetta dello Sport
.
In addition to FC Bayern, BVB and Leipzig are also probably interested in Soulé
Accordingly, FC Bayern would have to pay around 40 million euros for the nimble winger.
Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are also said to be interested.
However, neither club would probably pay the rumored sum.
The transfer value seems relatively high as the 20-year-old does not seem to be very well known beyond the borders of Argentina and Italy.
The offensive man has attracted attention from his loan club with ten goals this season and two assists so far.
He is one of the shooting stars in the Italian upper house.
In Argentina, Matías Soulé was trained in the Vélez Sarsfield talent factory in Buenos Aires.
The dribbler moved from the youth team to the training department of Juventus Turin in 2020.
In November 2021, the then 18-year-old was called up for the world champions' national team as a third division player from Juventus Turin's second team.
His professional debut in Serie A did not follow until December of the same year.

Soulé rejected an offer from Saudi Arabia
Soulé, who also has an Italian passport, was even courted by the “Squadra Azzurra” last year.
Ultimately, however, he decided on Argentina, as he explained to the Italian portal
Sportmediaset
: “I am Argentinian, I was born there and my heart always tells me Argentina.” The man from Mar del Plata is still waiting for his debut in the national team.
With his good ball handling and his straightforward approach to goal, he could enrich the FC Bayern squad.
The young professional hasn't given much thought to his future yet, as he continued in November: “We play every three days and there's no time to think.
I still have a long way to go.
So I’ll stay calm.”
Even when a high-dollar offer came in from Saudi Arabia in the winter, Soulé didn't get nervous and decided against the money and in favor of his own development.
He stayed in Frosinone.
A change is extremely likely in the summer.
In addition to the Bundesliga clubs, his agent has also made contact with some Premier League and Ligue 1 clubs.

But it shouldn't be about the absolute top clubs in the leagues.
FC Bayern would therefore currently be in a good position.
But with every additional goal from Matías Soulé, interest and market value increase in equal measure.
