More news about FC Bayern Munich

Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic should at the Football World Cup watch particularly closely. For FC Bayern Munich, the football tournament is often like a show of potential newcomers.

Many players who made their international breakthrough at a World Cup made it to the German record champions a short time later. Frank Ribery, Lucas Hernandez or Benjamin Pavard are examples of this.

Now a German national striker should interest the FC Bayern have woken up: Niclas filling jug. According to information from “Sportbuzzer”, the Bundesliga leaders are said to have already thought about the filling jug and asked teammates from the World Cup squad without obligation what kind of filling jug it was. “A great guy,” praised Thomas Müller publicly. Internally, he is unlikely to have answered this question any differently.

Choupo-Moting’s future at Bayern uncertain

FC Bayern could use a center forward. is current Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting The only true centre-forward in the squad. It’s in excellent shape though. However, the contract ends next summer.

barge says at “sky” about a possible contract extension: “We’ll sit down after the World Cup and then we’ll see how we can do it.” However, he also manages once again that players over the age of 30 only receive contracts for one year.

Whether this is enough for the 33-year-old Choupo-Moting is uncertain. Replacement could be urgently needed. Even if Choupo-Moting extends, a second striker would do the squad good.

At Werder Bremen, no player is not for sale

Filling jug stands by Werder Bremen under contract until summer 2025. However, the Bundesliga promoted depends on transfer proceeds. Werder currently has liabilities of 14 million euros. In addition, the club will have to pay off a further 38 million euros over the next six years because loans and a medium-sized company bond have to be repaid.

Werder manager Frank Baumann has already said: “We are still in an economic situation that does not allow us to declare players unsaleable.” The market value of the filling mug is estimated at “transfermarkt.de” at 5 million euros but because of his increased popularity and full contract in Bremen lie higher. A transfer fee of 20 million euros is possible.

Clemens Fritz, head of the licensed player area at SV Werder Bremen, does not rule out the sale of Füllkrug to “Sport Bild”: “Basically, we are also planning with Niclas Füllkrug for the new season. There are no other mind games at all. But in football a lot of things cannot be planned. If an immoral offer comes that Niclas would also like to accept, & we sit down with it because of our economic possibilities.”

For Füllkrug, a change to FC Bayern would be sportingly and financially attractive

For Füllkrug himself, the move to FC Bayern would be worthwhile both sportingly and financially. Although he has a close connection to SV Werder, because it springs from their youth. However, the 29-year-old has never won a title and never played an international game at club level. A change to the permanent champions FC Bayern and thus to the Champions League could therefore be very attractive.

He would also rise in terms of salary. When Füllkrug extended his contract in Bremen last summer, he accepted a salary reduction due to the club’s economic situation. According to “Sport Bild”, his previous salary is said to have been reduced by around 30 percent from an estimated 2.5 million euros a year to around 1.75 million euros. At Bayern he could probably multiply his salary.

Munich should also be interested in Harry Kane

However, Füllkrug is not the only World Cup star that FC Bayern is said to be interested in. The rumors about a commitment of the English captain Harry Kane continue to persist.

The contract of the English centre-forward with the top club Tottenham Hotspur ends in the summer of 2024. That means: If there is no contract extension, it will probably only be possible to achieve high transfer proceeds with Kane next summer.

Kahn does not deny the interest in Kane, but said hesitantly: “It is always put in my mouth that I think Harry Kane is so good. Of course he is a very good player, but there are also many other very good players.”

This could mean, among other things, Niclas Füllkrug.
