Bayern Munich are expected to strengthen the defense in the summer transfer window. The plans for summer will largely depend on what happens with the futures of Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae. Die Roten had identified Marc Guehi as a potential option to strengthen the defense in the summer since his contract at Crystal Palace was set to expire at the end of the season. Bayern chiefs held talks with the English defender, but Manchester City made their move in January
Having had a more pleasant than usual reception, more tweaks to the jersey have been leaked once again. The kit has been expected to stick with the traditional Bayern red with a darker tone pinstripe design. If you liked the pinstripes very much, you might be a tad disappointed as they are not going to be on the entirety of the kit.
Koln started the brighter of the two sides and would have taken the lead inside of two minutes were it not for a fine save from Manuel Neuer against Said El Mala, who shot from close range. Bayern eventually began to settle into a rhythm but, against the run of play, the hosts took the lead after 41 minutes when Koln winger Linton Maina was afforded too much space on the counterattack.
"One thing is clear: the most important thing in football is what the coach does with the team," declared Bayern's Head of Nutrition. "Nutrition is a supportive little gear. Our task is to integrate scientific findings into everyday life. Not too big, but in such a way that they support the goal," Carstensen said.
Manuel Neuer's expiring Bayern Munich contract is continuing to make for speculation over the goalkeeper's future, but sporting chief Max Eberl is eager to tamp down the talk. "Manu will be 40 in March. The way Manu is currently performing is world-class. We'll sit down, talk and exchange ideas with him," Eberl relayed in comments captured by Sport Bild, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "At some point, the body isn't ready for professional football anymore, but that's still not the case with Manu at the moment.
"I don't want the title to be decided in March. I want to stay in the race as long as possible. If we cut the gap to four or five points at some point, they'll start to reconsider. They'll still come to us. They're not completely out of sight, we want to be there when they make mistakes," BVB center-back Nico Schlotterbeck told Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
It is TRUE: Everton, Marseille and Lyon hold interest in Sacha Boey. There is interest, especially from France! But Boey doesn't want to move! So everyone is a little irritated. But the fact of the matter is he's currently earning a lot of money at Bayern. They also paid a big transfer fee for him. I don't know why, but he's feeling confident in Munich.
