Bayern's top candidate, Ralf Rangnick, had plans to bolster the attack by signing Michael Olise and Nico Williams, indicating a strategic approach to squad improvement.
I think he's a great signing. Obviously I played against him a lot in the last two years and he has everything you want in a center-back, big, strong, got presence, great on the ball. He's a great addition to the team. I'm looking forward to meeting up at the Club World Cup and getting our journey started together.
Lovro Zvonarek's initial promise with Bayern Munich came to a halt after a disappointing loan at Sturm Graz, leading to potential moves back to Croatian football.
