Journalist Evan reports that "Frank has created many fond memories for us. We also had very, very good exchanges. I even invited him to a restaurant in the evening, but we didn't consider re-signing him," Bayern director Kahn made clear at a sponsor event at the Allianz Arena. The French newspaper "Team" once said that Bayern, who had encountered personnel difficulties, was considering the return of 38-year-old veteran Ribery, which once made fans excited, but Kahn shattered this dream.
But Bayern's wing problems need to be solved. Sane, Comand and Gnabry are the top wingers, but they can't cope with the intensity of the third-line operation, even with Musiara, who can make a cameo appearance on the wing, they are still insufficient. It's just that in the eyes of Kahn and Salihamidzic, Ribery is no longer in line with the team's team-building strategy, and they have another, more important goal to solve the current problems.

Ribery's love for Bayern is unquestionable. He spent 13 years here, considering Munich his hometown. Last week, he played a Bayern senatorial game at the Allianz Arena and said: "It's fantastic, it's like being in your own bedroom, it feels good to be back at the Allianz Stadium. He took a picture of Kahn arm in arm before the game, and it was Ribery's prank of throwing water at Kahn with a bucket 13 years ago that laid the foundation for his image as a "mischievous" at Bayern and allowed the two to establish a deep friendship.
During this time, Ribery tried to show the outside world that he was in good shape and his love for Bayern. He first posted photos of himself working out in his villa gym, painted bayern in red and white, with the club slogan "Mia San Mia" written on it. In another video, Ribery plays football with his son, both wearing Bayern shirts. Before the game, he worked out with Boateng with his fitness coach Brouchy on Via Seberna, posting a photo of the training on his social media account and writing: "We are in the best physical condition. ”
Former international Matteus advised in a Column for Sky: "If Bayern can't find wingers who want to sign and can afford it, I suggest they consider giving Ribery a new contract for a year." Mateus doesn't think Ribery's 38-year-old is a problem, after all, he himself was still playing for Bayern when he was 39. Mateus said: "He can't play two full 90 minutes a week, but Ribery is healthy and there will be positive effects in the dressing room. He can make 29 appearances in Serie A and certainly play in the Bundesliga. ”
Ribery can also bring additional effects, Mateus said: "Bayern fans were not happy with the clash between Frick and Salihamidic last season and could make these fans happy if Ribery put on the Bayern shirt again. "Ribery has always had a very high status in the minds of Bayern fans, and when he made his debut in the Elder Games, he was cheered by the audience. Ribery was pleased with Mateus's recommendation, and he responded: "Thank you, my friend. I'm ready. ”

After ending his contract with Fiorentina, Ribery is free, has no intention of retiring and wants to play in the top flight for another year. Italian and French media reported that Bayern executives did indeed want to let Ribery put on his shirt again. Ribery is meaningful to Bayern now, with only three wingers and unable to cope with the heavy schedule. Ribery, who has been away from Bayern for two years, cannot demand a high annual salary and will be willing to wait on the bench. In the First Sports Network online survey, 81% of the 26,653 voters were in favor of Ribery's return, 6% were unsure, and only 13% were opponents.
Bild revealed that the opponent of Ribery's re-signing is sports director Salihamidzic. Salihamidzic believes that Ribery does not fit the club's transfer strategy and prefers to give young players a chance, so Kahn will deny the news and has not talked about the contract with Ribery. However, if a solution is not found near the transfer window, the possibility of Ribery's return will increase, and bayern supervisory board has former chairman Honess, who has the best relationship with Ribery and is also the biggest supporter of Salihamidic's tenure at Bayern, and he and Kahn may be able to persuade Salihamidzic to change his mind.
For now, Bayern's board is going to focus more on other negotiations. Kimmich's contract extension is nearing the end, Goretzka is in progress, and if Sabitzel is signed from Leipzig, Ribery's return will not have to be considered. Leipzig's captain is a midfielder and can also make cameo appearances on the flanks. His market valuation is 42 million euros, and since the contract period is only one year, Leipzig requires a transfer fee of less than 20 million euros, which is cheap.
For Bayern, whose income has been greatly reduced during the epidemic, Sabitzell's transfer fee still needs to be raised through the sale of players. French midfielder Tolisso is close at hand, and Serie A and Premier League clubs are interested in him. Four years ago, torriso came to Bayern as Bundesliga champion four years ago, and today he is worth about a quarter of what he was. After the European Championship, Tolisso was infected with the new crown quarantine and reunited with the team on Tuesday to resume training. As long as there is a suitable offer, Bayern will not hesitate to release people.
