Here you can find even more news and rumors about FC Bayern Munich.

FCB, rumor: Bayern probably interested in Barca talent

FC Bayern Munich has apparently kept an eye on the 16-year-old defender talent Iker Cordoba from FC Barcelona. According to information from sports1 The German record champions have been observing Cordoba for some time and have been in contact with their advisors for a few weeks.

The Spaniard’s contract runs until June 30, so Bayern are probably speculating on a free transfer. Although there should be another meeting between Barca and the player in the next few weeks to explore a possible contract extension, it is not unlikely that the negotiations will fail.

According to the report, Cordoba himself should feel flattered by the interest of Munich. He also has concerns as to whether the Catalans can offer him a sufficiently attractive sporting future.

The 16-year-old would initially be a perspective player for Bayern’s U19s, who, after a historically poor season under coach Danny Galm (only ninth place in the Junior Bundesliga South/Southwest), urgently need defensive support.

That became Bayern’s goalkeeper hopes

Bayern, News: Longtime Bayern II captain announces end of career

The longtime captain of the second team of FC Bayern, Nicolas Feldhahn, has announced the end of his career.

“After seven seasons, the time has come when I will end my career at FC Bayern. I had wonderful years here and stayed much longer than I initially thought. It was a pleasure and a source of pride for me at every moment to be on the pitch for this club. I’m now at an age to take this step and hang up my football boots,” the 35-year-old is quoted as saying on the club’s website.

He received praise from the head of the youth center Jochen Sauer. “Nico has been an extremely important player for our amateurs for the past seven years – on the pitch and in the dressing room. He has led the way as a personality and as a captain, was an important discussion partner for us on all issues and a role model for the young players in terms of discipline and ambition,” says the campus manager.

Feldhahn made a total of 186 appearances for Bayern’s second team. The defender also played for Kickers Offenbach, SpVgg Unterhaching, VfL Osnabrück and Erzgebirge Aue.

Konrad Laimer: Those are his transfer options

1/15

Konrad Laimer is currently playing the season of his life. With RB Leipzig, the Austrian reached the semi-finals of the Europa League and the final of the DFB Cup. The Bundesliga is also on course for the CL. This arouses (inter)national desires.

2/15

Several top clubs should try to hire Laimer for the coming season. His contract with the Saxons runs until 2023. SPOX has looked at the midfielder’s situation and is presenting his transfer options.

3/15

MANCHESTER UNITED: If he switched to the Red Devils, Laimer would meet his former sponsor in Ralf Rangnick. It is also the current United coach who should do his best for the 24-year-old. That reports the picture.

4/15

Due to the imminent departure of midfield engine Paul Pogba, Manchester are looking for reinforcements, especially in the central midfield position. Laimer would fit into the profile of the Red Devils with his tackle strength.

5/15

BORUSSIA DORTMUND: According to a report by Sky Sport, Laimer is also on the Bundesliga club’s list. Coach Marco Rose is a fan of the Austrian’s style of play and would like to have him as a new fixture in defensive midfield.

6/15

At BVB he could replace Axel Witsel and Emre Can there. While the Belgian’s departure on a free transfer is almost a done deal, Italian Tuttosport recently linked Can with AC Milan.

7/15

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR: The Spurs also came across the Leipziger in search of reinforcements for their defensive midfield. According to the Bild newspaper, Laimer should bring more quality and depth to the Tottenham squad.

8/15

In addition, long-running favorite Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg is said to be about to leave. According to a Mirror report, Newcastle United are planning a €35m transfer of the ex-Bayern player. Laimer could succeed the Dane.

9/15

FC LIVERPOOL: According to a kicker report, Jürgen Klopp is very impressed by Laimer’s style of play and wants to guide the native of Salzburg to Anfield Road. Above all, his running and tackling skills fit perfectly into the Reds’ system.

10/15

With Naby Keita, Sadio Mane and Takumi Minamino, three Salzburg players have already switched to the Premier League club in the past. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is said to be dissatisfied with his playing time, could leave the Reds.

11/15

FC BAYERN MUNICH: According to reports, the German record champion is also involved in poker for Laimer. According to a report by Ruhr Nachrichten, his ex-trainer Julian Nagelsmann is campaigning for the Austrian to change.

12/15

There is a great need for action at FCB, especially in the midfield center. There are no real alternatives to the seeded Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka. Corentin Tolisso, who is free in the summer, will probably leave Munich.

13/15

There are also Marc Roca and Marcel Sabitzer, who did not (or could not) meet the expectations placed on them. Laimer could fill this gap in Munich’s midfield. According to the Ruhr Nachrichten, he tends to move to the Isar anyway.

14/15

RB LEIPZIG: Despite the great competition, staying with Leipzig is also conceivable. Laimer’s working paper runs until the summer of 2023 anyway, so things don’t have to let the Austrian go.

15/15

In any case, Laimer’s focus is on the current season. Discussions about a change or even a contract extension at Leipzig should only take place after the end of the season. Nonetheless, the Bulls would like to extend the contract with the Austrian.

FCB, News: Bayern’s dream player is injured

Bayern player Ryan Gravenberch will be out for the rest of the 2021/22 season. According to his club Ajax Amsterdam, the 19-year-old picked up an injury and will not be available for the remaining three league games.

According to Dutch media reports, his downtime will be up to six weeks. Ajax are still fighting PSV Eindhoven for the title in the Dutch championship.

Gravenberch had recently been repeatedly associated with a move to Bayern. A transfer is said to be imminent.
