has been astute with the squad building in the last 18 months after bidding farewell to Arjen Robben, Mats Hummels, and Franck Ribery. The club has brought down the average age of the squad and kept the adequate experience to guide them to trophies.

However, the biggest setback in 2020 for Die Roten has been the departure of Thiago Alcantara and no breakthrough in talks for a new contract with David Alaba. The Spanish midfielder wanted a new adventure, so he left for Liverpool last summer. Meanwhile, Alaba’s wages have been a stumbling block in contract talks.

Bayern finally decided to withdraw contract offers from the table after getting exasperated with tedious negotiations with Alaba’s entourage. The German club is reportedly not keen on breaking the wage structure at the club to meet the Austrian defender’s demands.
