FC Bayern, News – Matthäus on Kahn: “Skirmishes are part of it”

Ex-soccer player Lothar Matthäus has made it clear that there is no dispute between him and Bayern boss Oliver Kahn. “I’m sure that the Bayern bosses will do everything for the success of this great club, […]but that doesn’t mean that we always have to agree, especially since we argue from different points of view,” wrote Matthäus in his skycolumn on Monday.

Most recently, the 1990 world champion had repeatedly criticized Bayern’s behavior with regard to Lewandowski – and had been dismissed by Oliver Kahn as a “headline supplier”.who had never run a club before.

But no reconciliation talks are needed between him and Kahn. “Oliver is still a person of respect for me,” Matthäus clarified. “As a player, he gave everything for FC Bayern like no other and now he is responsible. There are no differences between us at all, despite the skirmishes of the last few days. Sometimes that’s just part of it.”

Bayern rumors: “Serious talks” with 50 million people?

1/39

When it comes to transfers and contract extensions, there is always something to talk about at FC Bayern Munich. In order not to lose track of the current water level, SPOX looks at the rumors about the record champion.

2/39

CODY GAKPO: As reported by The Athletic, Bayern’s interest in PSV Eindhoven’s striker jewel is ‘concrete’. The record champions are just one of many top clubs that have had “serious talks” with the 22-year-old.

3/39

In addition to Bayern, Arsenal, Liverpool and Barca are said to have knocked on the door. Gakpo recently extended his contract with PSV until 2026. 35 to 50 million are due as a fee for the PSV top scorer (16 goals, 15 assists).

4/39

MANUEL NEUER: After surviving knee surgery, Neuer celebrated his comeback in the Bayern goal in a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim. His current contract expires at the end of the season, but an extension is said to be imminent.

5/39

According to Sport Bild, the keeper does not tend to say goodbye. Further talks are expected to take place in the spring. Neuer also told Bild that he had “no specification” as to when he wanted to end his career: “I’m not saying that it’s over at 40.”

6/39

ALEXANDER NÜBEL doesn’t like that, of course. “Then I won’t have a chance in the next two, five or ten years,” said Nübel in kicker about a possible Neuer whereabouts. The keeper is on loan to AS Monaco until the summer of 2023.

7/39

“What I can’t imagine anymore is coming back and not getting more games,” he said. Should Neuer actually extend his contract, the days of the former Schalke player on the Isar are numbered. That’s as good as certain.

8/39

But first Nübel should fulfill his loan in Monaco. “If nothing extraordinary happens, Alexander will play in Monaco next season,” said his agent Stephan Backs on Sky.

9/39

But behind Neuer, the cards are being reshuffled. This applies above all to SVEN ULREICH. The contract of the previous number two expires at the end of the season. According to Sky, he wants to clarify his situation in March. But the signs are pointing to farewell.

10/39

The same applies to CHRISTIAN FRÜCHTL. According to Sport1, the 22-year-old third goalkeeper wants to leave Bayern Munich in the summer despite the current contract until 2023. There were interested parties from Germany and abroad.

11/39

STEFAN ORTEGA: According to information from SPOX and GOAL, the Bielefeld player should become number two behind Neuer in the future. The ex-lion’s contract with Arminia Bielefeld expires in the summer. According to Sky, Leverkusen should also be interested.

12/39

JOHANNES SCHENK: According to information from SPOX and GOAL, there are internal plans to promote the 19-year-old to number three. He has been training with the professionals for weeks with Toni Tapalovic’s team of goalkeeper coaches and has apparently convinced himself.

13/39

As is well known, NIKLAS SÜLE’s future has been clarified, he is going to Borussia Dortmund in the summer and is leaving question marks in the Bayern defense: Who can strengthen the not always stable back team of Munich in the long term?

14/39

Chelsea defender ANDREAS CHRISTENSEN, who Bayern have been eyeing for a long time as a free transfer, is considered a hot candidate. According to information from SPOX and GOAL, there have already been several talks between Christensen and Bavaria.

15/39

The offer submitted is said to be too low at the moment, and the Christensen side expects an increase. The player himself wants to concentrate completely on his season at Chelsea and leaves the club search to his advisors.

16/39

When it comes to courting the ex-Gladbacher, FC Barcelona is probably ahead. According to information from SPOX and GOAL, the Catalans have presented the better offer and are luring with a contract until 2027.

17/39

ANTONIO RÜDIGER has long been considered a hot candidate to succeed Süle in Bavaria. But according to the picture, the national player is no longer an issue. His contract with the Blues expires in the summer and his future is not yet clear.

18/39

NICO SCHLOTTERBECK convinces with good performances and SC Freiburg is apparently already preparing to say goodbye. “For me, it’s always crucial where I can take the next step,” he recently told Sport Bild.

19/39

Rumor has it that talks have already taken place with Hasan Salihamidzic. Schlotterbeck didn’t want to comment on that. According to Sport Bild, there are no new developments here.

20/39

EL CHADAILLE BITSHIABU: Is the 16-year-old top talent on the way to Bayern? The Sport Bild reports at least once on the interest of the people of Munich. Bitshiabu currently plays in the Paris Saint-Germain U19s.

21/39

The French youth international has a professional contract with PSG that runs until 2024. In 2021 he became the youngest player in club history. The tall defender could be the next Parisian to join Munich after Coman and Nianzou.

22/39

DAVID RAUM: The Hoffenheimer made it into the national team this season, will the next career leap follow soon? According to AS, several teams should monitor the 23-year-old left-back – including Bayern.

23/39

NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI: Actually, Barca was considered the favorite to transfer the defender. However, as Sport1 reports, Bayern got involved in poker. Even the first negotiations are said to have taken place at a meeting on March 17th.

24/39

CORENTIN TOLISSO: The contract of the former 41.5 million man is expiring, his departure seemed clear. The Frenchman played as a substitute for Joshua Kimmich and/or Leon Goretzka until his own injury.

25/39

Nevertheless, there are many indications that Tolisso will leave on a free transfer in the summer. This was recently reported by Sport1. The same applies to MARC ROCA, who hardly plays a role under Nagelsmann. Bayern already have a possible replacement in mind.

26/39

RYAN GRAVENBERCH: According to a report by Telegraaf, FC Bayern Munich made an offer of 25 million euros for the Ajax talent. The 19-year-old should also aim for a change to the German record champions.

27/39

SERGE GNABRY: Negotiations regarding a contract extension beyond 2023 are said to be stalling. A meeting in mid-February is said to have brought no result, both parties are far apart, according to Sport Bild.

28/39

Now Real Madrid is said to have switched on and be interested in Gnabry. As Sport1 reports, he should only come in 2023 after his contract expires. There he would also meet his former teammate David Alaba.

29/39

FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann spoke out in December for Gnabry: “I’ve known Serge for ages and appreciate him as a person and as a player anyway. I would like nothing more than that he extends.”

30/39

THOMAS MÜLLER: The offensive all-rounder’s contract only runs until 2023, but the current rule is: “Müller always plays.” According to Sport Bild, Müller is currently not pushing for a change of club. A contract extension is considered likely.

31/39

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI: The striker’s contract expires in 2023. According to Sport1, Lewandowski is increasingly irritated by the lack of contract talks. He therefore asked himself “gradually” whether he was still sufficiently valued.

32/39

The personnel is increasingly causing a stir. According to sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, Bayern will “of course do everything possible” to extend Lewandowski’s contract. “I’m hearing that for the first time,” said Lewandowski after the victory in Frankfurt.

33/39

Sport Bild reported that the 33-year-old wanted a long-term contract offer, as a sort of appreciation from the club. As a player over 30, however, he falls into the category that actually tends to get one-year contracts at FCB.

34/39

The rumors about Erling Haaland have been quite angry with Lewandowski in the past. According to the latest information from Sport1, Bayern’s top earner is said to have still not received a new offer. There is talk of “standstill”.

35/39

“Lewandowski is the best striker there is. Of course, we would prefer that (an extension, ed.) beyond 2023. You don’t even see that he has reduced anything somewhere,” said FCB -Boss Kahn last year.

36/39

Again and again there were rumors about ERLING HAALAND. The Bavarians are said to have deposited their basic interest in the BVB goalscorer. Most recently, even Kahn confirmed a meeting with Haaland advisor Mino Raiola in Monaco. Included …

37/39

… According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, it should have been about Raiola client Gravenberch. A Haaland transfer is therefore not hot and actually too expensive for Bavaria.

38/39

KARIM ADEYEMI: For a long time it was considered the ideal solution in the event of a Coman farewell, until it was extended. According to information from SPOX and GOAL, BVB has the best cards with Salzburg. In addition, according to the picture, there should already be an agreement.

39/39

ERIC MAXIM CHOUPO-MOTING: According to Tuttosport, the noble joker from FC Bayern (contract until 2023) is in the sights of Juventus Turin. There, the Cameroonian should play the same role as in Munich: as a backup for Dusan Vlahovic.
