FC Bayern Munich before a big transfer? New fuss about “best central defender”
Will FC Bayern Munich strengthen itself next summer with a player who is available for a free transfer? We’re talking about Chelsea star Antonio Rüdiger.
Munich – There are two clubs in Europe that have perfected this game: Free transfer stars binding *. Juventus has been able to lure seasoned professionals to Turin for years without having to pay a penny transfer fee. Well-known examples are Aaron Ramsey, Emre Can, Sami Khedira, Dani Alves and Adrien Rabiot.
This summer, a second club has just the right strategy: Paris Saint-Ger. At the top of the list is of course superstar Lionel Messi. But also the free transfers of Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Georginio Wijnaldum were real hits.
One misconception, however, has to be cleared out of the way: Of course, transfers of this kind are also expensive, and huge amounts of cash can flow in for a signature at a new club. Transfer-free bills of exchange are only a bargain at first glance – even though they are attractive compared to deals with transfer fees.
FC Bayern Munich: Free transfer of Antonio Rüdiger in the summer?

Sports director Has Salihamidzic * an emphasizes again and again that you have to get “creative” on the transfer market in order to keep up with the new competition from Europe. Free transfers are definitely a means – and that’s exactly why Antonio Rüdiger is an interesting player.

His contract expires next summer, he would also be available. And why shouldn’t FC Bayern be interested in a successful German national player who could be had for free – apart from dismissals, bonuses and later salaries? Premier League legend Rio Ferdinand recently said of him: “Has probably been the best central defender since Tuchel took over. Between him and Dias (Manchester City defender, editor’s note) it is tight for me. But the effect that Rüdiger had on his team is huge. “

Antonio Rüdiger before moving to Bayern Munich? Julian Nagelsmann comments
Julian Nagelsmann was asked about the rumors about Rüdiger at the game press conference before the Fürth game. His opinion: “He has made a great development.” The defender had matured from the “siding” to “one of the decisive players” at Chelsea.
The new Bayern coach raved about Rüdiger’s “aggressiveness”. Wait for it too? Have you already been contacted, as many a medium had reported in the recent past? Nagelsmann said that he had not yet spoken to Salihamidzic. And adds with a laugh: “And if I did, I wouldn’t reveal it.” In addition, he would first have to “see if there is still money in his wallet”.
Antonio Rüdiger: “Personally, I haven’t spoken to any other club than Chelsea”
Rüdiger * himself now also took a stand. In addition to Bayern, Real Madrid and PSG should also be interested. The Chelsea star said that SID: “Personally, however, I have never spoken to any other club than Chelsea.” Sahr Senesie, once active at Borussia Dortmund himself, was reportedly already in contact with the Munich team. At the same time, when asked about his contractual situation, Rüdiger clearly welcomes: “For me this will now be the most important decision in my professional career.” He therefore “doesn’t want to rush anything”.
The DFB defender is currently in a perfect starting position. Surely Tuchel should also be interested in keeping his defensive man. Rüdiger says of his coach: “It’s unbelievable how many players have been brought to the next level here.” Julian Nagelsmann enjoys a similar reputation in the industry.
