FC Bayern Munich transfer review: Key areas have been addressed
Verdict for the summer transfer window
Nubel will eventually succeed Manuel Neuer. Training with the best goalkeeper in the world will be beneficial for him. Kouassi is also a fine prospect. He is likely to be Jerome Boateng’s long-term replacement as the German defender enters the final year of the contract.
In the right-back position, Sarr is an experienced option, so that is the downside of the transfer. Going from a younger player such as Dest to Sarr may raise some eyebrows. Nevertheless, Pavard is likely to be the first choice reight-back due to multiple options available in central defense. Sarr’s availability will allow Flick to rotate.
The arrival of Roca is exciting due to his quality and very less transfer fee. The Spanish midfielder will provide cover for Joshua Kimmich and also play with him in central midfield. He will provide more steel and bite in the middle of the park.
Signing Leroy Sane for €50 million also represents good value for the winger. The rebuild of the attack would have been complete if Bayern had managed to sign Hudson-Odoi. On a one-year loan deal, Costa is a low-risk high rewards signing. Meanwhile, Lewandowski finally gets a backup striker in Choupo-Moting. The Polish striker can be rested in few games when Flick is rotating the team.
