Bayern are hoping to strengthen their defense with another signing on a free transfer next summer. They have shown concrete interest in Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guehi. The English defender was close to joining Liverpool in the summer, but the move fell through on deadline day. Guehi is now attracting interest from several big clubs since he will be available on a free transfer next summer.
The former Schalke midfielder had to work hard to get into the plans of Vincent Kompany and Bayern. Goretzka was told to find a new club last summer, but he decided to fight for game time in Munich. Eventually, Goretzka got opportunities last season, and he made the most out of it. The good form from last campaign has continued into the ongoing season.
"I believe that the external pressure led to the changes in the deal because in Germany, I think that the clubs are pretty exposed to criticism from the fan base. Fan bases in Germany are quite traditional and not open to commercial deals."
"During my playing days, the league was more open; there was more competition for the title and more German champions. The league hasn't been the supposedly 'most honest' competition for some time now. What's honest about a 30 or 40 million euro squad budget competing against a 300 million euro squad budget."
"Everyone knows that Robben is a legend at FC Bayern and the Dutch national team. He's a benchmark. I met him in Liverpool when he was visiting and asked him for a photo," Díaz said.
Jonathan Tan's signing emphasizes Bayern Munich's strategy in the transfer market, as they secured a vital player who has proven leadership abilities and adaptability in different defensive systems.
