FC Bayern – Rumor: Transfer target Konrad Laimer rejects contract extension at RB Leipzig
FC Bayern is apparently not finished after the previous transfers. Another reinforcement for the midfield in the person of Konrad Laimer could follow next.

However, the magazine also reports that Laimer has not yet communicated a change request internally.

FC Bayern – News: Special jersey causes trouble among fans
On Saturday, FC Bayern surprised with a special jersey that combines the designs of the last ten championship jerseys. The catch: it was only offered for sale to the almost 300,000 club members. Demand was high and it was sold out in just a few hours.

While a performance should not be planned until Wednesday, he wants table football already know how Julian Nagelsmann plans with the Senegalese. According to the magazine, Mane is planned on the wing – opposite Kingsley Coman. Who acts on the left or right seems still open.
However, Mane is not planned as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is willing to change, although he can also play in the centre, as he recently demonstrated in the Champions League final with Liverpool. Mane could only be considered as a temporary representative in the middle of the attack with the German champions.
Conversely, this plan would also mean that the German internationals Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry, whose contract expires in 2023, would first have to queue up.
