German media reviews Bayern s problems: right-back is weak & Kane is difficult to find a substitute, want to sell people but has not received a quote

May 21th Although Bayern achieved the lowest goal of the season under coach Kompany, he failed to go further in the German Cup and the Champions League. Before preparing for the Club World Cup and competing for another possible championship, Bayern still needs to solve a series of problems, and German media sports.de sorted out the most important points.

1. Management turmoil: Eber's future is doubtful

Sports director Eber was highly expected when he took office in March last year, but his status is now unstable. According to reports, the Supervisory Board even considered firing him. Eber has caused many controversy recently, including the way he treated Mueller, the Ibiza incident and his passive attitude in player negotiations. In addition, Bayern did not reduce its salary expenditure, but instead renewed its core players at a high price, which has exacerbated financial pressure.

2. Lineup adjustment: Werz needs to sell people to join

Bayern hopes to sign Werz this summer, but for this, the players must be sold first to raise funds. According to Biography, Kim Min-jae, Koeman, Gnabri, Palinia, Boy, Goretzka, Ter and Zaragoza are all on the list of available sales.

If Jonathan Ta joins as a free agent, this may accelerate Kim Min-jae's departure; and if Koeman or Gnabry leaves, the ideal signing of Wilz may fill the gap. With the departure of the team, the two midfielders, Palinia and Gretzka, the signed recruits that have been finalized will be on standby at any time. Although Bayern is ready to sell people, he has not received a specific offer and the first domino has not yet fallen.

3. The weakness of right back: The signing target has emerged

Since Kimmich no longer plays right back, this position has become one of the weak links. Boy did not perform as expected and had frequent injuries and Stanisch did not return to his best form, so Lemmer played in the position for a long time. Although Bayern had no intention of reinforcing before, the latest rumors show that they are interested in Tottenham's Pedro Polo.

4. Substitute center problem: Who will replace Kane?

If Kane is absent for some reason, Bayern will lack a reliable substitute. Mueller is about to leave the team, Terr may be bought out by Tottenham, and the club urgently needs to introduce new strikers. But those who meet the requirements - willing to be a substitute and can plug and play - are scarce, and the goals of Cesco, Hick, Yorkress, etc. are not suitable. Shubo-Moting's previous successful cases may be a reference.

5. Sane's contract renewal deadlock: the possibility of leaving the team increases

Bayern and Sane's contract renewal negotiations are deadlocked: the club previously provided a contract with a salary cut without a signing fee, but Sane decided to refuse and change his agent, whose new agent is Zahavi, who has a tense relationship with Bayern. Although the two sides have not closed the door to negotiations, Sane is increasingly likely to leave the team this summer.
