The qualities of Robert Lewandowski are currently being questioned in Spain, but at Bayern Munich they have now found out that the Pole, who left last summer, left a gap that has not yet been filled.
Bayern willing to pay 100 million euros for new striker
A centre striker of undisputed world class, that is what is currently lacking in the leader of the Bundesliga. Various sources in Germany report that something will be done about it: after the Champions League match against Manchester City, general manager Oliver Kahn, technical director Hasan Salihamidzic and trainer Thomas Tuchel sit down to talk about who it should be.
If the reports from our eastern neighbours are correct, there is about a hundred million euros available to buy a striker. Harry Kane is not a realistic option for the Bavarians, three other candidates are mentioned. Randal Kolo Muani seems to have the best papers, although it is not the case that the French attack leader of Eintracht Frankfurt can be bought for a pittance. It should cost more than that hundred million.
The Bavarian superpower is – like everyone else – also charmed by Victor Osimhen from Napoli. Aurelio De Laurentiis, president of the upcoming champion of Serie A, would only want to sell his striker for an amount that would far exceed the available striker budget of one hundred million. This does not seem to be an option for the Nigerian.
Gonçalo Ramos could be. Bayern Munich are on good terms with agent Jorge Mendes, and the Benfica striker would be a lot cheaper than the other options. The Portuguese, however, have a well-stocked club fund: Roger Schmidt saw Enzo Fernández leave for Chelsea this winter for an astronomical sum.
Scouting Italy turns up in France for top talent after an Argentinian direct hit
Speaking of scouting In Italy, after missing the World Cup in Qatar, people are busy selecting the group of players. National coach Roberto Mancini also looks beyond the national borders for this. After an Argentinian direct hit, the coach now hopes for success in France.
The football-loving Italians were already surprised in March when they saw the selection of the Azzurri. After all, what did Mateo Retegui do on the player list? The striker, born in Argentina, played for the Mexican Tigre and was the odd one out.
Reason for the Italians to expand the research into bent pearls. Possibly again with success, because a new candidate has been found for the selection in France. If it is up to Mancini, Rayan Cherki (19) opts for an international career with the reigning European champion. This is reported by various Algerian media.
The attacking midfielder of Olympique Lyonnais was born in France and has Algerian ancestors. But in Italy people have also learned about his Italian grandparents. As a result, Mancini thinks he has a chance at Cherki’s entrance. Also because the creative person is not eligible for the selection of Les Bleus for the time being.
