With the season's big five leagues coming to an end, the authoritative media "Kickers" today's front-page article titled "Levan and Gnabry May Leave, Lemer is the Candidate?" details bayern's transfer rumours that may occur in this summer's transfer window.
In the article, the "kicker" clearly pointed out that Bayern management will conduct a big data analysis of the team's financial situation after winning the championship in advance, and then decide this summer's transfer policy and the future of some players. Among them, Bayern's existing star players Lewandowski and Gnabry may leave the team, while Leipzig's back-back Lemer is seen as a candidate for the back position. As for Leipzig attacker Nkunku, who has continued to shine in the Bundesliga this season, Bayern are only likely to try if they have enough transfer income.
Unlike social media coverage of full-text segmentation, here's a look at these transfer messages that are very close to the status quo.
The first thing to focus on is the 33-year-old center Lewandowski. For the Polish goalscorer, the official version released by all relevant persons in charge said bayern clubs do not want to give up two-time World Footballer of the Year by 30 June 2023. Prior to this date, Levan's contract was valid, so the Bundesliga's top scorer could only stick to his contract.
However, if a club pays a transfer fee of 40 million euros or more, Bayern may still part ways with Levan in advance. What is certain is that Bayern are currently refusing to extend Levine's contract expiring in 2023 under the demand for higher salaries – possibly by at least two years.
Meanwhile, while Müller recently introduced him and Bayern for "good talks" on extending their contracts expiring in 2023, the 26-year-old Germany international Gnabry's contract extension is already in trouble. According to the club, the negotiations between the two sides have been going on for four months, and Gnabry's request for a "big salary increase" will certainly not be met, as Gnabry's change has also made the club clearly unhappy.
In addition to Levan and Gnabry, Bayern management also considers other important transfer incomes, with Austrian midfielder Sabitzé among them. Last summer, Bayern brought in the 28-year-old midfielder for €15 million and signed him to 2025, but his performances so far this season have disappointed the club. If an offer to make up for the losses is made this summer, Sabitzer's Bayern trip will be terminated.
In addition, with Tolisso set to leave Bayern this summer, Bayern will add new strength in the midfield position. In response, Nagelsman wants to sign a No. 6 player, and the "kicker" thinks "this is completely correct".
As Nagelsmann once described his disciples, he saw the 24-year-old Leipzig back Lemmer as a "monster-level machine that conquers the ball." Lemer's contract at Leipzig ends in 2023 and a renewal looks far away. Similar to Lemmer, Leipzig attacker Nkunku (whose contract expires in 2024) has also made a scandal with Bayern, but the "kicker" believes that the rumor has not been confirmed by any means.
For now, Bayern may be interested, but Nkunku's high transfer fee (Leipzig's recent offer of 70 million euros) is clearly beyond Bayern's ability to afford, unless the team can sell Lewandowski and Gnabry this summer to raise sufficient transfer funds.
Finally, Freiburg's centre-back Schlotterbeck, Ajax's right-back Mazlawi and defender Gravenberg are also Bayern's candidates in the transfer market. Basically, these transfers depend on whether Bayern management decides to take on more financial risk based on season analysis.
After all, bayern have a potential loss of at least €15 million after missing out on the champions league semi-finals this season. If one considers the liquidated damages and additional terms when Bayern signed Nagelsmann last year, can it be understood that Bayern paid at least 35 million euros in tuition fees in Nagelsmann's first year of coaching.
