With less than a month left in the summer transfer window, let’s focus on the deals that Bayern Munich has completed until now, riddled with drama and a lot of money well spent. The Bavarian club has been one of the most active clubs in the transfer market.
With the disappointing departure of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona, a long list of names followed: Niklas Sule, Corentin Tolisso, Marc Roca, and Omar Richards- all out of the club. Despite these significant departures, Bayern has managed to strengthen the squad. The electric start to the season shows that good decisions have been made by the Bavarian club’s recruitment department.
The past couple of transfer windows might have fallen a little flat, but Julian Naglesmann and Bayern meant business this summer. In two months of the window, Bayern has secured the signings of Noussair Mazraoui and Ryan Gravenberch from Ajax, Sadio Mane from Liverpool, Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus, and Mathys Tel from Stade Rennais. A club record for money spent in a transfer window- €150,000,000 with possibly more to come.
With new faces coming into a club the size of Bayern Munich comes high expectations. How will these new players perform? What kind of impact will they have? How will they change the team dynamic? Well, let’s take a look at that and break down who to expect to shine and when to expect it.
