The Bayern center forward left the team on a free transfer this summer with a career transfer fee of only 50,000 euros
On February 2, Beijing time, Sky Sports Germany broke the news that Bayern Munich center Choupo-Moting did not choose to leave the Allianz Arena before the winter transfer window closed, because both sides want to continue working together this season. However, this summer, Choupo-Moting, whose contract expires, is likely to leave on a free transfer. And this is also the consistent way for Cameroonian strikers to leave the team.
This season, British star Harry Kane joined Bayern, Choupo-Moting's playing time has been greatly affected, so far, the Cameroonian has played a total of 22 games in all competitions and only started five times, scoring three goals, including three starts and two goals in 17 Bundesliga games. This is still a big gap from last season's 30 games, 22 starts, 17 goals and 4 assists. This winter window, Choupo-Moting was linked with the names of big clubs such as Manchester United, but he ultimately chose to stay at Bayern.
Choupo-Moting joined Bayern Munich as a free agent from Paris Saint-Germain in October 2020 and signed a three-year contract. In March last year, Bayern renewed the contract of Choupo-Moting, who was about to expire, for one year, and the new contract did not come with any extension options, but his annual salary increased from the previous 5 million euros to 10 million euros, which shows that Bayern still recognizes the Cameroonian center forward very much.
However, there is no such thing as an endless feast, Kane's arrival and Tel's rapid growth, coupled with the fact that he is 34 years old, it is not surprising that Choupo-Moting broke up with Bayern in the summer. Of course, with his strength, it is more than enough to play in a mid-range team in the five major leagues. It is worth mentioning that in Choupo-Moting's career, all of them left the team as free agents, and the signing fee is estimated to be hemp.
Born in March 1989, Choupo-Moting came through the St. Pauli academy before moving to Hamburg's Under-17s. In the summer of 2007, he was promoted to the first team at Hamburg. However, in 2 seasons, he only handed in 25 games, 3 goals and 2 assists. In August 2009, Choupo-Moting joined Nuremberg on loan for €50,000. And this is the only time in his career that he has made money for his old club. Since then, Choupo-Moting has joined Mainz, Schalke 04, Stoke City, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, all free agents. This is very rare in world football.
However, it still needs its own hardness to strike iron, from mixing the middle and lower reaches of the five major leagues to playing for European giants such as Paris and Bayern, Choupo-Moting's own strength is also impressive. Especially last season, he carried the banner of Bayern center forward with Lewandowski leaving, and his performance was still very good. If he leaves in the summer, Choupo-Moting will only receive blessings from Bayern fans.
