BFW Question of the Day - April 30th, 2025: Should Josip Stanisic play center-back, right-back, or be a super-sub next season?
Briefly

The departure of Eric Dier from Bayern Munich to AS Monaco prompts speculation regarding the center-back situation for the 2025/26 season. With Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae potentially returning, Josip Stanišić emerges as a likely third option, despite being Bayern's strongest right-back. Hiroki Itō is also considered, although he will need to cover for the injured Alphonso Davies at left-back. The team faces a dilemma: either seek a new center-back in the transfer market or risk relying on the often-injured Tarek Buchmann, with the current plan leaning towards Stanišić as a key defender.
