Christian Falk’s exclusive transfer round-up focuses on various Bundesliga clubs and their players. One player highlighted is Matthijs de Ligt, who has struggled with injuries and potential misalignment with the new coaching approach at Bayern Munich. It is speculated that the club may consider selling him in the summer. Joshua Kimmich, another Bayern player, has attracted interest from Newcastle United, but he may not be inclined to move to a team not competing in the Champions League. Talks about a potential contract extension or transfer are in the works.
Florian Wirtz, a Bayern Munich target, is likely to stay with Leverkusen until 2025, potentially influenced by Xabi Alonso’s future as manager. Bayern is also keeping an eye on Xavi Simons at RB Leipzig, although his cost may pose a challenge. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s contract renewal with Bayern is not certain, and other players such as Joshua Zirkzee and Arijon Ibrahimovic are also being monitored.
In terms of recruitment, Bayern Munich has shown interest in Nordi Mukiele and Eric Dier, and is considering options for the No.6 role, including Martin Zubimendi.
Florian Wirtz is also a subject of discussion, as Leverkusen has set a substantial asking price for his potential transfer. Manchester City is likely the only interested club capable of meeting this amount and may pursue the player as a successor to Kevin De Bruyne.
Christian Falk also discusses Donyell Malen’s situation at Borussia Dortmund, stating that the lack of concrete offers has led the club to reconsider any potential January sales. Additionally, Malen has changed his agent, adding an element of uncertainty to his future.
Overall, the round-up provides insights into the potential movements and developments within various Bundesliga clubs and their players.
