FC Bayern, News today: Salihamidzic excludes transfers

Bayern’s sports director Hasan Salihamidzic has given a clear rejection of newcomers in the current transfer window and thus also ruled out a commitment from Denis Zakaria. “We’re very, very well staffed. We have a good squad that’s in place. Nothing will happen there,” said Salihamidzic in the run-up to the Bundesliga game at Hertha BSC (4-1). DAZN.

The Swiss Zakaria will leave Borussia Mönchengladbach at the latest after his contract ends in the summer, but a change in the winter is also possible. Because only then would Gladbach collect a transfer fee. Bayern were recently traded as a possible buyer, coach Julian Nagelsmann described it at the matchday conference before the game in Berlin as “duty to always discuss players who are free”.

According to Salihamidzic, nothing will happen at left-back in the winter either, despite the absence of Alphonso Davies. The Canadian is suffering from a mild myocarditis and is banned from playing sports until mid-February. But even without Davies, Bayern are “well occupied in the position. We have Lucas Hernández, we have Omar Richards,” said Salihamidzic. Meanwhile, Davies will be given “as much time as possible,” he added.

FC Bayern, News: Neuer reluctant to talk about the future

Captain Manuel Neuer has expressed reservations about reports that he will extend his contract with Bayern in the near future. “The current status is, the contract runs until 2023 and everything else is now speculation. It’s not like there’s a rush now, that we have to plan it, but I feel good, I’m fit, I’m happy in the team play and fulfill my contract,” said Neuer DAZN.

Most recently, among other things, the image and the sports buzzer reports that a contract extension to 2025 is imminent. Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic at least signaled an interest on the part of the club to extend the contract with Neuer. “We have great confidence in Manuel and will definitely talk about it at some point,” he said.

FC Bayern, News today: Nagelsmann mad at Upamecano

Coach Julian Nagelsmann criticized Dayot Upamecano after FC Bayern’s 4-1 win at Hertha BSC. The reason: He conceded the goal in the 80th minute through Jurgen Ekkelenkamp.

“In the end, the goal bothered me more than the missed chances. That was superfluous. Manuel Neuer likes to keep a clean sheet and is annoyed. The others who were on the pitch from the start did it very well and conscientiously,” said Nagelsmann on DAZN.

Central defender Upamecano had come on for Lucas Hernandez just a minute earlier. His back pass to Neuer fell short, which is why Stevan Jovetic was able to disrupt goalkeeper Neuer and Ekkelenkamp could put the ball into the goal.

“Why do you play the ball directly? When I’m 95 kilos and I’m very, very fast, I dribble another meter or two and then see what happens. Jovetic has to put pressure on the goalkeeper, then you can put pressure on your central defender colleagues play”, Nagelsmann criticized the action of the 23-year-old.

Playing the ball directly is always difficult, said the Bayern coach: “If you’re not sure, then you stay on the ball first. I’m a big friend of doing it with control. It’s 4-0, then you can play the action more controlled.”

FC Bayern, News: Schweinsteiger keeps his return open

Club icon Bastian Schweinsteiger is keeping a return to FC Bayern as an official open. “You should never say never,” said the 2014 world champion on the “Bayern-Insider” show picture live. However, he put it into perspective: “A little later maybe. It’s not appealing to me at the moment. I’m very happy with my life, with my annual plan. Even if you can decide for yourself, that’s a good feeling.”

After ending his career in December 2019, Schweinsteiger is currently working as a TV expert, among other things. The 37-year-old sees himself “not yet forced or at that point to get back anywhere. But it can change quickly these days,” he said.

After the upheaval in Bayern’s management level, the new CEO, Oliver Kahn, and sports director, Hasan Salihamidzic, are two former Schweinsteiger players who are the new decision-makers at the record champions.
