FC Bayern are continuing to plan their squad for the future, but one name has apparently been removed from the transfer list
According to information from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, FC Bayern have apparently removed a name from their internal transfer list
According to this information, the Säbener Straße is assuming that the 21-year-old midfielder clearly sees his future in England. Bayern have been informed that Baleba would have preferred a move within the Premier League, specifically to Manchester United, last summer. Against this background, a transfer to Munich is currently not being pursued
This puts earlier speculation that Baleba was a possible candidate for the Bayern midfield – also in the context of Leon Goretzka’s unclear future – into perspective. Although the Cameroon international has impressed with strong performances at Brighton & Hove Albion and is considered one of the most exciting box-to-box profiles in the English league, the sporting and personal signals clearly speak against a move to FC Bayern
Carlos Baleba would have been very expensive for FC Bayern
In addition, a transfer would have been associated with considerable financial hurdles anyway. Brighton are said to only be willing to discuss a very high transfer fee of around 85 million euros, which would have made the deal even less attractive
Instead, Munich will continue to focus on the available options in the center and the development of its own players. Baleba thus remains a topic for the English market – for FC Bayern, however, the personnel issue is probably over for the time being.
