Bayern Munich has had a crazy week when it comes to its backline.
The club learned that Niklas Süle would be transferring to Borussia Dortmund, before seeing the backline play terrible against VfL Bochum.
Knowing reinforcements will be needed for next season, Bayern Munich is likely getting antsy to ensure that it can back-fill Süle’s role with a good player. According to Abendzeitung, the Bavarians could be looking to get really serious about a financial offer to Chelsea FC’s Andreas Christensen:
At FC Bayern, Christensen is the absolute dream player to succeed Niklas Süle, who will leave in the summer. Although the signs for a free transfer of the Danish national player from Chelsea to Munich were actually very good, the “kicker” and the “Bild” are now reporting that the negotiations could prove difficult.
The tense relationship with coach Thomas Tuchel’s club is based on the fact that the club has already agreed with Christensen on an extension, but the Dane is said to have demanded a higher salary afterwards. An absurdity for Chelsea, who does not want to create a precedent for other players.
The Danish national player is currently said to be earning almost €5 million in London, and his salary is said to have been increased to over €7.2 million in the offered contract extension.
More concerning might be that FC Barcelona is reportedly closing in on a deal with Christensen as well. Between the high salary and Barca’s current upper-hand, it does not seem all too likely that Christensen is going to be in Germany next season.
