In the early morning of this morning Beijing time, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich were forced to draw 1-1 at home by last season's Europa League champions Villarreal, with an aggregate score of 1:2. With being eliminated in the most important event of the season, Bayern have focused their attention on this summer's signings and it is clear that the Southern Stars need to reinvigorate next season.
Bayern's exit frustrated the team, and the German media even bluntly said that they had hurt German football. After all, Villarreal, who is seventh in La Liga this season, is not very strong, and Levan, who has recently been mired in transfer rumors, is believed to have affected the team's performance. As one of the first players to leave the stadium after the Champions League defeat, Levan has always felt that he has not been respected by the club; especially after the director Salihamidzic's outspoken interest in Haaland, the Poland international considered leaving the team this summer. Seeing that Barca have basically negotiated a contract with Levan, there is no agreement on the transfer fee. Considering the season is drawing to a close, Bayern need to find Levan's successor as soon as possible.
According to The German newspaper Bild, bayern hope to replace the Poles with Bayer Leverkusen striker Hick, given Haaland's high price and fierce competition. The Czech striker has made 25 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, scoring 20 goals and having three assists, and is currently ranked second in the Bundesliga top scorers list, behind Levan. Although Hick's market price is 40 million euros, Bayer Leverkusen does not want to let go of the team's forward thighs, and they are priced at the Czech republic international at 75 million euros to scare off suitors.
In addition to Hick, Bayern are watching Stuttgart striker Karadzic and Salzburg Red Bull Sheshko. The 24-year-old Karadzic, who is 2 meters tall, has played less often this season due to injuries, 4 goals and 2 assists in 10 Bundesliga games, and the German transfer coaching price is 22 million euros, considering that his contract is only one year left, Bayern has the opportunity to buy at a low price. The 19-year-old Shashko has 4 goals and 3 assists in 18 games in the Austrian Super League, but he is an investment in the future.
