Hasan Salihamidzic, sporting director of Bayern Munich, says that as long as the Bundesliga champions continue to keep a close eye on the transfer market, more big-money deals are unlikely this summer.
What did Hasan Salihamidzic say?
The German giants have already added Omar Richards and Dayot Upamecano to their defensive ranks, but also said goodbye to the likes of Javi Martinez and David Alaba. The Allianz Arena is looking for new targets with continuous improvement, which the ambitious outfit achieves, but the funds are not enough to make a big splash in recruiting. Hasan Salihamidzic told Bayern’s official website when he criticized the club’s transfer plans that, above all, they have an excellent roster that still has potential and which they will continue to develop. This means they are already well placed and they got their job done early this time around by signing Omar Richards and Dayot Upamecano in defense. But they will still follow the transfer market very closely until the end. However, they have clear financial constraints this summer due to the coronavirus and can only move within those limits.
A little about Julian Nagelsmann
While little movement is expected on the field in Bavaria, there have been plenty of changes. Hansi Flick left his role in Bavaria to face charges for Germany’s national side, paving the way for Julian Nagelsmann to step into his shoes. The 33-year-old is one of the most exciting coaching talents in world football, with Bayern Munich thrilled to have him on board. Hasan Salihamidzic added that with Julian, they get a young and very innovative coach. Julian is also a coach of many top clubs in Europe that wanted to sign, so they are very happy that he decided to continue writing his and their success story here with them. FC Bayern is really looking forward to it.
