FC Bayern are continuing to scour the transfer market in search of reinforcements for their attacking options, with DFB international Kevin Schade recently coming under the spotlight. However, a potential transfer could fail due to financial constraints
As reported by BILD, those responsible at the record champions are not prepared to meet the transfer fee demanded by FC Brentford. The Premier League club is said to be asking around 70 million euros for the winger
Such a sum currently seems too high for Bayern, and the demand from Munich is difficult to justify, especially in view of the intended role in the squad
As things stand at present, Schade would have been primarily planned as a backup for the left side of the attack, where Luis Díaz is already an absolute regular
According to the report, Bayern do not want to invest such a high transfer fee for a supplementary player
Strong season in the Premier League
The 24-year-old is currently under contract with FC Brentford and is having a solid season in the Premier League
The former Freiburg player has scored seven goals and provided three assists in 29 competitive games so far, a performance that has brought him to the attention of several international clubs
Schade has also gained his first experience in the German national team jersey, with the winger having played five international matches for the DFB so far
According to BILD, Bayern are continuing to keep a close eye on the attacker’s development, but no concrete steps are currently expected
At the same time, several Premier League clubs are also said to be interested in Schade, who could be more willing to meet Brentford’s high asking price
For FC Bayern, Kevin Schade therefore remains a candidate on the extended list for the time being – however, a transfer is only likely to become realistic if the transfer fee demands change significantly.
