Bayern Munich: Three things to watch out in pre-season
Future of young players
The upcoming pre-season tour will also be defining for the future of young players in the squad. Joshua Zirkzee has reported at Sabner Strasse for the pre-season tour after enjoying a productive loan spell. The Dutch striker has been heavily linked with a move away from Bavaria, but he is expected to be on the plane to the USA with Die Roten.
Hasan Salihamidzic is reportedly keen on Zirkzee getting chances in the pre-season before making a decision regarding his future. With Robert Lewandowski potentially leaving Bavaria this summer, a good pre-season may change the course of Zirkzee’s future at Die Roten.
Apart from Zirkzee, the pre-season is very crucial for Tanguy Nianzou’s future in Bavaria. Nagelsmann is reportedly going to assess him during pre-season before deciding whether to send him out on loan for next season.

Along with Zirkzee and Nianzou, it will be intriguing to see how the young players perform during pre-season. Paul Wanner is expected to be in the squad for the tour. The young German attacking midfielder made his senior debut last season. He is tipped to become an integral part of the senior team in the future, so the pre-season with the senior team is crucial for him.
