Thomas Tuchel had to deal with a very small team this summer due to Bayern Munich’s excessive outgoings and lack of adequate reinforcements, and it is clearly evident. Defense-related injuries nearly prompted the team to try to sign Jerome Boateng, but they (rightly) opted against it.
Bayern could bring in up to three players in January, according to Sky’s Florian Plettenberg. Why? That’s because Kim Min-jae would be traveling to the Asia Cup, leaving the squad much more depleted than it already is. Noussair Mazraoui, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, and Bouna Sarr might all be departing for the AFCON.
Due to the abundance of players linked to both positions, Bayern will undoubtedly be busy during the winter transfer window trying to buy defensive midfielders and backup center-backs. Who should Bayern sign in January, in your opinion? Post your thoughts in the comments section below!
