Bayern's last season ended without securing the Bundesliga title, causing a dip in team morale and leaving fans feeling disheartened. Fortunately, after Kompany took over the team, he quickly stabilized the situation using his wealth of experience. He adjusted tactics and boosted morale, leading to an impressive performance in the first half of the season that reignited hope.
However, the football field is unpredictable, and with the winter transfer window approaching, Bayern finds itself at a critical juncture. Currently, there are concerns within the team's lineup: Gnabry and Coman on the left flank have been inconsistent, affecting the team's offensive output; defensively, there are rumors of Kimmich and Goretzka leaving, which has seriously unsettled the team.
Bayern's management has acted swiftly, reportedly planning to offload a forward valued at €70 million and targeting Son Heung-min as well as Hoffenheim's defensive midfielder, Bishof.
Starting with Bayern's attack, Oli from Crystal Palace has been performing like a godsend, scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists in 23 games. His positioning, passing, and shooting skills are excellent, giving opponents a hard time. However, Gnabry and Coman on the left flank keep encountering problems; Gnabry's form fluctuates greatly, capable of breaking through defenses single-handedly when in good form but making constant mistakes when not; Coman, plagued by injuries, has limited playing opportunities and inconsistent performances, failing to provide strong support for Kane.
According to German media "Kicker," Bayern has its eye on Son Heung-min for a reason. Son has achieved remarkable feats during his time at Tottenham, though this season has been less smooth, his abilities remain intact. The chemistry between him and Kane, honed over years in the Premier League, allows them to understand each other with just a glance.
If he were to join Bayern, he could certainly invigorate the team's offense on the left flank, working in tandem with Oli to create more opportunities for Kane, significantly enhancing Bayern's attacking power.
Defensively, things are also unsettled, with reliable sources indicating that Kimmich and Goretzka might leave, which would be a significant blow to Bayern's backline. Kimmich, as a midfield organizer, excels in both defense and organization, while Goretzka boasts excellent physical attributes and strong tackling ability.
This is when Bishof from Hoffenheim comes into Bayern's view. The young player has been outstanding in the Bundesliga this season, with active running, extensive defensive coverage, and clean tackles, making him an excellent defensive player. If Bayern can secure him for €30 million, it would inject a powerful force into the backline, bolstering the team's championship aspirations.
As for Sane, who may be let go by Bayern, he has indeed not met expectations during his time at the club. Spanish media "Mundo Deportivo" reveals that despite his high price tag of €70 million, his on-field performance has been inconsistent, sometimes too individualistic in ball handling, causing concern among teammates and coaches. Now, there seems to be some interest between him and Barcelona; if a transfer were to happen, a change of environment might benefit both him and Bayern.
Despite the growing transfer rumors, there are concerns. On one hand, many worry whether the 33-year-old Son Heung-min can still adapt to the high-intensity rhythm of the Bundesliga and recapture the synergy he had with Kane at Tottenham. On the other hand, while Sane's departure appears to be about streamlining the squad, his potential remains, and if he were to rediscover his form at Barcelona, wouldn't Bayern be losing out?
