Center-back search picks up speed: Bayern have two candidates in focus

FC Bayern are keeping their eyes open for a new player for their central defense. In the event of the departure of one of the current professionals, action is to be taken. Two candidates in particular are the focus of those responsible

Ruben Dias, John Stones, Yann Bisseck, Gleison Bremer: all of these central defenders have been linked with Bayern, some more intensively than others

The trail to Stones is currently cold, and in general there are many different profiles and price categories in the rumour pot. In general, a player like Min-jae Kim or Hiroki Ito would have to move first for anything to happen at Bayern

Two names are being heavily traded at Bayern

Ultimately, two names are not only being discussed by several media outlets, but are also being traded more intensively. We are talking about Ibrahima Konate and Yann Bisseck. Konate, whose contract with Liverpool is expiring, has been linked with Bayern for some time. Meanwhile, those responsible at the record champions have repeatedly kept in touch with the player’s side

However, Real Madrid and Chelsea are also interested in the transfer-free Frenchman, so there could be a kind of bidding war when it comes to hand money and salary

What’s more, Konate already earns a decent salary, which could become a sticking point should the situation arise

Meanwhile, Bisseck is said to be able to imagine a move to FC Bayern. The Inter star wants to play himself even more into the focus of the national team, and Inter would be willing to talk for 40 million euros

Bayern have already made intensive enquiries about Bisseck, but the hurdle of a sale remains for the time being, especially as neither candidate is currently considering a move and Ito also has the advantage of being able to play on the left.
