There could be movement at Bayern Munich next summer. If a Frenchman is concerned, a club legend could also be, while the relationship between this player and his management is very strained.
Injured until the end of the season after a skiing accident in December 2022, Manuel Neuer gave two media interviews, which greatly displeased the leaders of Bayern Munich. The 36-year-old goalkeeper, whose career is in jeopardy after the injury, notably complained vehemently about the departure of the club’s goalkeeping coach, Toni Tapalovic. Oliver Kahn reframed Manuel Neuer, before the sporting director of the German club, Hasan Salihamidzic, got started in turn.
The Bosnian notably hinted that this story could have repercussions: “If there are going to be any consequences, we will first discuss them with Manuel (Neuer).” Is a departure of the German goalkeeper to be considered, while Bayern Munich replaced him with Yann Sommer (34) and the youngest Alexander Nübel (26), on loan to AS Monaco, still belongs at the club ?
30M euros for Pavard?
For Benjamin Pavard, the situation is different. Bayern Munich intends to keep its 26-year-old Frenchman, author of a good season (24 games, 4 goals), but the former Lille resident has requirements. Indeed, Benjamin Pavard wants to play as a central defender, while the right side João Cancelo arrived this winter. His wish could be granted by his coach, Julian Nagelsmann, in the second part of this season.
However, according to Sports1, the Bavarian club, currently 2nd in the Bundesliga behind the surprising Union Berlin, has determined the price of Benjamin Pavard for the next transfer window, while several clubs are thinking of him. This is the case of Inter Milan, which will lose Milan Skriniar next summer, or FC Barcelona, a track that appeals to the French international.
Bayern Munich are also seeking to finance the future recruitment of João Cancelo, loaned by Manchester City with a purchase option of 70 million euros, and the sale of Benjamin Pavard, who has hinted for several months that he wants to leave, could help him.
