Sandro Wagner backs Bayern Munich to make big signings
The former Bayern Munich striker backs the club hierarchy to sign top talents in order to challenge for every trophy next season.
Bayern Munich has been struggling in this summer transfer window. The Bundesliga champions are yet to address the problem positions in the squad. Die Roten generally do the majority of transfer business before the pre-season but they have failed to do it this summer.
The club hierarchy has been heavily criticized for the lack of signings this summer. Uli Hoeness expressed his frustration when he was recently questioned about the transfers. Hasan Salihamidzic has endured a lot of criticism in his brief stay at the club. The scrutiny will increase for him if the German club fails to make big signings this summer.
Sandro Wagner has jumped in the defense of the Bayern chiefs. The former Bayern striker told SportBild that he is confident that Die Roten will improve the squad. However, he also expressed his disappointment regarding the departure of Mats Hummels.
"“You should simply trust Kalle, Uli, and Brazzo and let them work in peace. Bayern have not been that bad for the past 30 years.”“The only thing that worries me a bit is that Mats now plays at Dortmund. Personally, I do not like that at all, but that’s just my opinion as a Bayern fan.”"

The Bundesliga champions still have time on their side to complete the signings. However, the transfer fees will get higher as the deadline day comes closer. Die Roten might even get priced out in the deals for the alternative targets. The wait will be definitely worthwhile if the Bavarians manage to add a world-class winger and midfielder to the squad before September 2.
