Check out here the Bayern Munich transfer news and rumors for the summer transfer window 2022. Summer Transfer Window for 2022 is starting from 10th june and will close on 1st september.
Bayern Munich have first bid rejected for Liverpool forward Sadio Mane
The transfer window is heating up as clubs look to get the deals done before the start of the pre-season. Bayern Munich has already completed the signing of Noussair Mazraoui, while Ryan Gravenberch has also reportedly undergone medical to complete his move to Bavaria. The German Champions are now working on the signing of Sadio Mane from Liverpool.
According to The Times in the UK, Bayern had the first bid rejected for Sadio Mane. The reported bid rejected by Liverpool from Die Roten is worth £25 million (£21 million-plus £4 million in bonuses). The Merseyside club is looking for a significant fee for Mane despite entering the final year of his contract.
It has been widely reported in Germany that Liverpool will demand a hefty transfer fee (£42.5 million) to part ways with Mane. The Senegalese winger is keen on moving to Bavaria as he reportedly wants to try a new adventure. Mane has reportedly told Liverpool about leaving the Merseyside club in the summer.
The report from Times has also been confirmed by SportBild’s Christian Falk. The German Champions will be coming back with an improved offer for Mane. It remains to be seen if Liverpool will be open to bringing their price down the fee.
Bayern has identified Mane as the top transfer target to bolster the attack. The Bavarian club could end up losing Robert Lewandowski this summer as he continues to push for a move to FC Barcelona. Mane could end up playing as a false nine at Bayern as he has successfully done for Liverpool in the second half of the season.
Mane has been a crucial player for Liverpool in the last six years at Liverpool. The Senegalese forward delivered quality performances in the wide areas for the Merseyside club. He helped Liverpool in winning the Champions League and Premier League. It is not surprising to see the English club asking for a significant fee for the 30-year-old forward.
The transfer activity for Bayern in the attack will step up a gear once international games are done this week. The German Champions will be expecting an improved offer from Barcelona for Lewandowski. The Polish striker continues to put pressure on the Bavarian club to sanction his departure.
Bayern Munich keenly following situation of Raheem Sterling
The upcoming summer transfer window is set to witness numerous players switching clubs on free transfers. Bayern Munich capitalized on one such situation and snapped up Noussair Mazraoui from Ajax. Meanwhile, several top players are entering the final year of their current contracts.
Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling is one of the numerous star players in Europe that are entering the final year of their current deal. The English winger is set for talks with Manchester City to resolve his future later in June, but several top clubs are keenly following his situation.
According to Daily Mail in the UK, Bayern Munich is also following the contract situation of Raheem Sterling. The Bavarian club will be facing competition from Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Barcelona if they pursue the signature of the English forward.
Sterling has been one of the most productive wide players in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola in the last five seasons. The English winger can play on either flank and also operate as a false nine. Sterling is a very clever forward that can help stretch the opposition, and he also has the knack for scoring goals from wide positions.
The English winger’s best years are ahead of him as he turns 28 next season. He has played a big role in Manchester City’s four title wins in the last five years. The English champions will do everything possible to secure his future.
Bayern should definitely test Man City’s resolve with a bid this summer if the English club’s talks with Sterling later this month are not positive. He can be a top-quality forward for Die Roten and help them to remain competitive across Europe. It can be a statement signing for Rekordmeister, which will also fit well with their financial framework.
The Bavarian club will have significant competition if they decide until 2023 to sign Sterling on a free transfer. He will be a very sound replacement for Serge Gnabry if he leaves in the current transfer window. The German winger has also entered the final year of his deal in Bavaria, with an agreement for a new contract looking unlikely at the moment.
Bayern Munich determined to sign RB Leipzig’s Konrad Laimer
The midfield department is set to get much-needed reinforcements at Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window. The Bavarian club has agreed a fee with Ajax for Ryan Gravenberch. The Dutch midfielder is expected to complete his transfer to Bavaria later this week.
Along with Gravenberch, Bayern is also pushing ahead with plans to sign Konrad Laimer from RB Leipzig. The Austrian midfielder has also entered the final year of his contract, but Leipzig is looking for a considerable fee, and they would prefer him to move abroad. The latest update on Die Roten’s pursuit of Laimer sounds promising.
According to TZ (via iMiaSanMia), Bayern is closing on a move for Laimer, with a fee expected to be around €20 million. The Austrian midfielder is keen on reuniting with Julian Nagelsmann at Die Roten after working together at Leipzig for two years.
Meanwhile, transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano has also insisted that talks are ongoing for the transfer of Laimer to Bayern. The Italian journalist has also quoted a similar fee that has been mentioned by TZ. It does look like Laimer’s transfer is likely to be sealed by the Bundesliga champions in the coming days.
Laimer can provide good cover for Joshua Kimmich. The German midfielder’s workload needs to be managed to keep him fresh for an entire season, and there needs to be healthy competition in the squad. Laimer also fits the bill of being a pressing machine that can help in improving Die Roten’s counter-pressing next season, a tactical area identified by Nagelsmann to make the team more solid next campaign.
The arrival of the Austrian midfielder could lead to more departures from the current squad. Corentin Tolisso bid goodbye to Bayern on Monday. The French midfielder is leaving Bavaria on a free transfer after arriving from Lyon five years ago.
Along with Tolisso, Marc Roca is also expected to leave Bayern in the summer. The Spanish midfielder has been recently linked with a move to Barcelona, while Eintracht Frankfurt is also very interested in him. The transfer fee received for Roca will most likely offset the outlay for Laimer.
