Judging from the games so far this season, Bayern's performance has basically met expectations of them. In the league, the team has won 17 of its 21 games, with a win rate of 81%, which is also the best in the five major leagues. In the other 4 matches, their record is 1 draw and 3 losses. In the league table, Nagelsman's side scored 52 points, and the number of points ahead of second place is close to double digits. Such advantages have basically helped Bayern book this season's league title in advance. In the Champions League, from the analysis of team strength and competition experience, Bayern is also one of the few teams with the most promising championship trophy.
From the perspective of the team's lineup, if the injury factor is not taken into account, their paper strength is undoubtedly at the top level. Even in the absence of several main players such as Goretzka, Neuer and Alfonso Davis due to injury, Bayern can still stand alone in the Bundesliga. If you have to look for weaknesses within Bayern, the renewal of the contracts of many of the main players should be the most difficult problem facing the team. The first is the main centre-back Jules. In the case that the contract extension with the team is not going well, the outside world has long expected the transfer of Jules to leave the team. But to everyone's surprise, the tall centre-back chose to switch to Bayern's direct rival. This was a bit disappointing for the team. However, for Bayern, Jules' performance this season can only be regarded as decent. His overweight, slow movement and turning speed have been affecting the quality of the team's defense. Therefore, if the team can sign a better center-back player, then Jules' departure will make Bayern "blessed".
Judging from the existing players in the team's centre-back position, in addition to Jules, Lucas Hernandez and Upamecano are the two main centre-backs of the team. The young Kuassi has not had much playing time this season, totalling just 172 minutes. Judging from this player configuration, in the case of Jules leaving the team next season, not to mention the 343 formation, even if the regular 4231 formation is adopted, these 3 centre-backs will not be able to cope with the long season. As a result, Bayern have also been looking for a suitable centre-back in the transfer market. It is reported that Schlotterbeck, who plays for Freiburg, has entered Nagelsmann's reinforcement field. The 22-year-old young centre-back, who is 1.91 metres tall, is the highest-scoring centre-back per game in the league this season. He is worth only 20 million euros in the transfer market, which is a very worthwhile transfer for Bayern even if the premium factor is taken into account.
At right-back, Pavard's form appears to be showing signs of slipping. And relative to the right-back position, Pavard has more than once expressed a desire to play as a centre-back. Coupled with the fact that his contract extension with the team is not going well, Bayern is noncommittal about his salary increase requirements, which has made his future a little uncertain. As a substitute for the right-back position, Sal has never proven himself capable of having a place in the squad. But even so, Sal refused to leave the team. According to Sport Bild, Nagelsman appreciates Portugal international Hasselo and is interested in signing him. One of the most capable wing attackers in European football, Cancelo has contributed three goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season, worth €60 million. Bayern still has a lot of work to do if they want to succeed in poaching.
In the forward line, Bayern have two main players whose contract extensions have yet to be finalized: Gnabry and Lewandowski. The 27-year-old Gnabry has made 40 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring 17 goals and delivering seven assists, making him one of the best-in-form wingers in the five leagues. His contract with the team is still more than a year off and he wants to match Kingsley Koeman in terms of salary, who earns more than €15 million a year. However, Bayern did not intend to match Gnabry's requirements. If both sides are unable to complete the renewal before the end of the season, Bayern are likely to choose to sell it in the next transfer window to avoid the embarrassing situation of their free departure.
There is still hope of agreement on Gnabry's contract extension, and Lewandowski's journey at Bayern seems to have entered the countdown. This season, the 33-year-old Lewandowski is "immortal" and shows no signs of deteriorating in form, having scored 46 goals in all competitions and delivering as many as seven assists for his teammates. According to as a newspaper, Bayern have basically decided to abandon the super goalscorer as Levan wants to continue to raise his salary on top of his €24 million annual salary. After learning of Bayern's attitude, Lewandowski has also made a decision that he will leave the team at the end of the season. It is reported that due to Real Madrid's doubts about signing Haaland, they have made Lewandowski the primary target of transfer reinforcements. Levan is also interested in going to Real Madrid. With both sides intent on facilitating a transfer, the forward star is fairly close to a move to Real Madrid. (The picture comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete)
