Christian Falk: Bayern transfer news on Malick Thiaw & Joe Gomez
"It's not normal for him to do things like this. Yes, things happen in the heat of the moment, and FC Bayern always have this idea under Vincent Kompany to play football - not just kick and rush! So, at the end, Kim Min-jae looked a little poor, because he could have come a little closer to receive the ball, but then there's always the old rule that you shouldn't play the ball across your own goal when in defence."
"If Manuel Neuer signs a new contract with Bayern Munich, he would have to agree to give up more playing time to Jonas Urbig. This was the initial idea behind the transfer of the now 22-year-old shotstopper. Bayern are, in fact, very happy that they already have a successor in the squad in Urbig, so they believe they don't need a new No.1."
Bayern Munich continues to navigate multiple challenges across their squad. Defensive errors have emerged as a concern, with incidents involving Joshua Kimmich and goalkeeper positioning highlighting vulnerabilities in their play-from-the-back philosophy under Vincent Kompany. The club is actively monitoring transfer targets, including potential acquisitions from Newcastle and Liverpool. A significant focus involves Manuel Neuer's contract situation at age 39. Bayern has invested in Jonas Urbig, a 22-year-old goalkeeper, as a successor. If Neuer signs a new contract, he would need to accept reduced playing time. The club remains uncertain about Neuer's decision, with talks expected around his 40th birthday during the international break.
