Bayern Munich has taken a look at Manchester City winger Jack Grealish a few times, but there is someone in-house who is said to be a massive fan of the English attacker — head coach Vincent Kompany.
In fact, Kompany even named Grealish to his “Dream XI.”
With Grealish on the outs with Manchester City and Bayern Munich seeking to bring in another winger, could the Bavarians take a run at Grealish? Maybe.
Per Sport Bild, Bayern Munich joins Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Aston Villa in having interest in Grealish:
According to Guardiola, Grealish is a “top player,” but the competition has simply been better over the past two years. “Last season, Doku was incredible in many games, and Savinho has developed enormously in his first season.”
The 29-year-old Grealish has two more years under contract with City, but a departure this summer seems almost inevitable. English clubs such as Everton, Tottenham, and Aston Villa are said to be interested, as are top international teams such as Bayern Munich and SSC Napoli.
With the support of the manager and the influence of countryman Harry Kane, could Grealish consider taking the leap? It is possible, but probably unlikely. It is unclear how much Manchester City would want for Grealish, but one scenario which could interest Bayern Munich is a potential loan for Grealish.
A loan would would be much cheaper for Bayern Munich and present the Bavarians a chance to see if Grealish would be a long-term fit.
What do you say? It might be worth a chance, if Bayern Munich can get an advantageous deal financially.
If you have followed Grealish off the field, a possible jump to Germany might be reality show worthy.
As was reported earlier in the week, it seems like RB Leipzig attacker Timo Werner really is going to make a move to the New York Red Bulls:
Timo Werner has opened doors to New York Red Bulls as next club, initial green light to the move.
Talks now ongoing about conditions of the deal, salary and more. MLS can be one of the options for Timo’s future.
Werner won’t stay at Leipzig after returning from Spurs.
Bayern Munich survived the Group Stage, but will now have to lock in and shift its focus to attempting to take down what should be a very game Flamengo side. It will not be easy, so let’s get to it! This is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show:
- A breakdown of what’s going on with Bayern Munich and how the Club World Cup has been a great opportunity to starting building chemistry and a competitive mindset.
- A look back at the results for both teams so far.
- Why Flamengo could be dangerous — and why Bayern Munich needs to be focused, so it can avoid an embarrassing upset.
- A guess at Bayern Munich’s starting XI.
- A prediction on the match.
Olympique Marseille could be interested in Bayern Munich right-back Sacha Boey for a loan:
Olympique Marseille are interested in a loan deal with an option to buy for Sacha Boey. Bayern are open to letting the Frenchman go, but on a permanent basis. The player, meanwhile, currently wants to stay at Bayern. English clubs are also showing interest.
Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany wants to keep Boey, but the roster is a bit crowded. Surely, Bayern Munich would be more open to a full transfer than a loan as well.
Does Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi needs to get any more rich? Maybe:
Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal are looking to reignite their pursuit of Inter Miami star Lionel Messi this summer, says Sport. Messi, 38, has a contract which expires in December and Al Hilal president Fahd bin Nafel is reported to be in the United States to meet with the player’s father and agent, Jorge. However, Inter Miami are also in talks with the Argentina international over a contract extension.
Bayern Munich is in mover and shaker mode, but will any of these prospective transfers actually stick?
Let’s talk about all of that and more on the Bavarian Football Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
- Bayern Munich and Nick Woltemade have agreed on a deal, but the Bavarians still need to reach an agreement with VfB Stuttgart. How did it happen, how did we get here, and how will it all work?
- That was one big move Max Eberl made while back in Germany, but the executive also presented his plans for wing to the supervisory board. Who is Eberl pushing for? Let’s discuss.
- Lennart Karl could bounce if he is not in the plans.
- Should we be worried about Dayot Upamecano?
- Timo Werner (New York Red Bulls) and Thomas Müller (LAFC) to MLS.
Bayern Munich looks to still be keeping tabs on Liverpool FC’s Luis Díaz and Cody Gakpo:
According to Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra, though, this has ‘upset’ Díaz and his representatives, who are not happy with the decision to renege on those plans to discuss a new deal.
“Luis Díaz and his entourage are upset with Liverpool’s stance,” Sierra stated. “They feel the club has gone back on their word (once again with the player).
“Something similar happened before with his contract renewal and now with the possibility of a transfer.”
And as a result of that frustration, Falk claims the transfer door has swung wide open for Bayern Munich to swoop for the star – and he’s not the only Reds attacker they are tracking either….
And according to Falk, Bayern Munich are very much looking to take advantage of the situation by swooping for Díaz, and with a new winger very much high on their priorities list this summer after losing Leroy Sané at the end of his contract.
Writing on the Daily Briefing, Falk stated that Bayern are “looking for alternative candidates for the wing” after missing out on Jamie Gittens to Chelsea and with Nico Williams expected to sign for Barcelona.
And he adds that the Liverpool star “Luis Díaz also remains a candidate”, while Falk also notes that Bayern have held “initial talks” with the representatives of Cody Gakpo, though the possible signing of the Dutchman looks considerably more difficult to pull off.
“The feedback has been that Barca are sure to sign Williams,” Falk explained. “Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, for example, could be back on the radar… teammate Luis Díaz also remains a candidate.”
The Nick Woltemade pursuit could prove to make transfer inquiries on Díaz or Gakpo irrelevant. Regardless, Bayern Munich will likely still keep an eye on some other attackers as a contingency plan.
Former Eintracht Frankfurt star Luka Jović could be thinking over a move to Mexico:
Luka Jović’s move to Cruz Azul remains on hold. Talks between AC Milan and the Liga MX side are ongoing over the 27-year-old striker, but at the moment they have not made any progress.
Bayern Munich’s run at the Club World Cup is ongoing, Germany’s U-21s are blasting through the competition, and the transfer market is heating up…so, let’s talk about it all.
This is what we have on tap for this episode:
- A heat check on Bayern Munich — how are we feeling at the end of the group stage? What went right, what went wrong and everything in between.
- Why is Bayern chasing players who it probably can’t get like PSG’s Bradley Barcola, Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, and Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens?
- There really might not be a plan for Tom Bischof, huh?
- Is now the time to get Nick Woltemade?
