Shortly before the end of the summer transfer period of the Bundesliga, which ended on October 5th due to corona, FC Bayern Munich had just three newcomers in the bag. A circumstance that supposedly prompted the stars of the German record champions to act.
Driven by the fear that Bayern would leave it with the newcomers Tanguy Nianzou, Alexander Nübel and Leroy Sané, the team council is said to have asked for an exchange with the club management, according to “Sport Bild”. The demand: “If we want to continue to be so successful, we need new players!”.
The board of directors led by Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, President Herbert Hainer and Co. is said to have assured the lead wolves led by Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller and Robert Lewandowski that they had taken advantage of their wish, but that the association would only become active if there were economically viable opportunities . The players would have to accept that, Hainer is said to have made the maxim unmistakably clear.
A good two months later, it is well known that Bayern delivered. With Marc Roca, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Bouna Sarr and Douglas Costa, the squad was further strengthened for a manageable financial outlay. Only with Callum Hudson-Odoi from FC Chelsea did FC Bayern lose out.
The current season is underpinned by the fact that the Isar has done well to top it up again. Due to the late start of the season, the top clubs have two games on the program almost a week. It is clear across Europe that this factor is troubling top teams.
FC Bayern also had to drop one or the other point in the league, but the Munich team lead the table after ten match days. Certainly also because you have the opportunity to give the superstars a break from time to time.
