Shortly after Germany international Jules said he would leave Bayern in free this summer, his next home suddenly came out today, but it is simply unimaginable that the next home that Jules finally chose was Bayern's biggest domestic rival, Borussia Dortmund!
In this regard, the authoritative media "kicker" initially reported on the title of "Dortmund's Magic Trick: Jules transferred freely from Bayern" for the first time today, making it clear that Jules will leave Bayern in a free transfer, but he will choose to stay in the Bundesliga - the German international will transfer to Dortmund this summer.
The article made it clear that "Jules, who cannot agree with Bayern on a contract extension, will join Dortmund in the summer as a free transfer." Initially, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that the 'kicker' investigation confirmed Dortmund's plans, but Dortmund's management had not yet been asked to comment on the transfer. ”
Shortly thereafter, The Dortmund official quickly and publicly confirmed the transfer. As a result, the Nerazzurri, who had just lost 2-5 at home to Bayer Leverkusen, temporarily eased the anger of the fans with the help of this "anti-digging" Bayern transfer operation.
According to statistics, the 26-year-old Jules has played 213 Bundesliga games for Hoffenheim and Bayern so far (scoring 12 goals), and Borussia Dortmund will be the third leg of his career. At Dortmund, the future of centre-back Zagadou, whose contract is about to expire, is open; Pangracic, who is on loan from Wolfsburg, should not be bought out; and the contracts of regular main centre-backs Arcangi and Hummels expire in 2023. As a result, Jules will become the core of the team's defensive line after joining Dortmund.
In 2017, Jules joined Bayern for a transfer fee of 20 million euros, and the contract expires this summer. Previously, Jules had previously publicly informed Bayern that he would not accept the offer to renew his contract. It's just that as a German international, leaving the Bundesliga banba Bayern Munich at the golden age, Jules's retrogressive choice at the competitive level is really incomprehensible to the outside world.
There are reports that bundesliga banba has not gone to great lengths to retain the international, who has played for Germany 37 times – former board chairman Rummenigge even said that Jules "never really established himself in his place". On Saturday, however, Bayern captain Neuer publicly refuted this: "I think you can say he was successful today and we are all annoyed by Jules' departure. ”
In any case, the misunderstanding and even the contradiction between Bayern management and Jules can no longer be concealed. In this regard, Jules' agent Strus recently said publicly in an interview with The Bild newspaper: "The reason why Jules left Bayern Munich is simple, he feels that he has not received enough attention. ”
In this regard, Strus explained: "In the past, the club always negotiated contracts with players two years before the expiration of the contract, but the negotiations with Jules began more than six months before the expiration of the contract. According to the well-known journalist Fark, Bayern only verbally proposed a renewal offer to Jules, and the players never received a positive written offer.
Strus followed up: "I had a relationship with [Bayern sporting director] Salihamidzic late last autumn, but we never negotiated with Bayern Munich (to renew our contract). As early as January 2 this year, Jules went straight to the club and said that he was leaving, which had nothing to do with money. "
Strus, who has been an agent for more than 10 years, is known as the No. 1 adviser in German football. Götze joined Bayern, Kroos joined Real Madrid, and even Reuss joined (renewed) Dortmund is his masterpiece. Today, he is also the agent of Bayern manager Nagelsman and centre-back Upamecano, and joined Bayern last summer after successfully running the pair.
Not only that, it is reported that Strus and former Bayern president Rummenigge have a good personal relationship, and now his explanation on the issue of Jules leaving Bayern is actually worthy of recognition. As for why Jules chose to join Bayern's domestic rival Dortmund in addition to choosing to leave Bayern, of course, for the time being, we cannot rule out our own emotional factors.
Among them, Kyle, who will take over as Dortmund's sporting director, said after the official announcement: "Jules quickly showed us during the transfer negotiations that he was very interested in Dortmund... Next, I believe that the German media will definitely further expose the inside story here.
Just for Bayern management, the 35 million euro German international joined the competitor for free, coupled with The alaba who left last year (worth 65 million euros) and the potential Toliso, the cost of losing 100 million euros in the transfer market is indeed too high. Previously, there have been criticisms from the German media that the misconceptions about the players in the contract period (mistakenly believing that they will renew their contracts) and mishandling are worthy of good reflection by bayern management.
Nowadays, looking at the signing of The biggest competitor with Jules, the evaluation of the "kicker" not only makes Bayern fans unable to understand and accept, "obviously it will not make Bayer and other Bayern players feel better".
