Even though the summer transfer window is yet to open, clubs have started working on deals. Bayern Munich want to build on their successful campaign and give Vincent Kompany more options to go all the way in the Champions League next season.
In terms of strengthening the defense, Bayern are looking to improve the full-back positions since a couple of full-backs are leaving, and Alphonso Davies has struggled with injuries. Die Roten are also looking at versatile defenders who can play in the heart of defense and cover in the full-back position.
Inter Milan’s Yann Bisseck is one of the versatile defenders who can be a good fit for Bayern. According to Fabrizio Romano (via iMiaSanMia), Bayern continue to keep a tab on Bisseck’s situation. He is one of the names on Die Roten’s list to strengthen the defense.
Bisseck has largely played in the heart of defense for Inter Milan this season, making 23 appearances in Serie A. However, he can also play in the right-back position. He played a crucial role in Inter’s Serie A and Coppa Italia double win this season.
Considering how well Bisseck has performed for Inter Milan, it was surprising to see him not picked for Germany’s World Cup squad. His absence at the World Cup can allow Bayern to secure the deal early in the summer.
However, Inter Milan are expected to ask for a significant fee as Bisseck has three years left on his current deal.  Die Roten may have to pay in excess of €40 million to sign the 25-year-old from the Serie A champions.
Bisseck can replace Hiroki Ito in the squad
In terms of departures, Bayern are open to listening to offers for Hiroki Ito. The Japanese center-back can leave Die Roten for a fee closer to €20 million after enduring a difficult couple of seasons in Munich.
Bisseck can be a perfect replacement for Ito as he can also play in multiple positions across the backline. He can provide cover to Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah in the central defense, while covering for Konrad Laimer in the right-back position.
Apart from Ito, Kim Min-jae is also a candidate for sale at Bayern in the summer. The South Korean defender is content with his role in the squad, so he is not actively looking for a transfer. However, Bisseck's or any other versatile defender's arrival may change the situation for Min-jae, as he may become the fourth-choice center-back.
