FC Bayern Munich: Marcel Sabitzer before moving to England

Marcel Sabitzer apparently arouses the interest of the two top English clubs Manchester United and Chelsea. how sky reported, FC Bayern is in talks with both clubs.

According to picture it should result in a move to ManUnited. The Red Devils need this position after the long-term absence of midfield strategist Christian Eriksen. With Jorginho, Chelsea will probably lose a midfielder to Arsenal – and would also have a vacancy.

Sabitzer was already absent from Bayern’s training session on Tuesday ahead of the DFB Cup game at FSV Mainz 05 on Wednesday evening.

The Austrian is usually only second or even third choice for the German record champions, in central midfield coach Julian Nagelsmann recently relied on other players. In 2023, alongside Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, Ryan Gravenberch was always given preference, while Sabitzer only played one minute.

In the current season he has made 15 appearances in the Bundesliga, but only twice for the full 90 minutes. He scored one goal and one assist in 24 competitive appearances this season.

Sabitzer’s compatriot Konrad Laimer from Bundesliga competitor RB Leipzig will probably come to Säbener Straße in the summer, so the competition for the two free places in midfield will intensify again.

The midfield all-rounder, who also had to help out as a full-back at Bayern, came to the record champions in 2021 at the request of coach Nagelsmann from RB Leipzig.

Bayern paid a transfer fee of 15 million euros. But even in his debut season, the Austrian international fell short of expectations. In the end he made 30 competitive appearances, scoring one goal and one assist each.
