With the January transfer window already midway through, clubs are desperately trying to strengthen their teams with six more months of club soccer left. Bayern Munich are also trying their best to make their team stronger, with some transfers being planned by the board.
With the club in second place in the Bundesliga, it is clear that the German giants want to desperately improve their position with only a short time remaining. And they are looking into two big transfer targets to help their team get back to top form.
Bayern Munich interested in Nordi Mukiele and Kieran Tripper
Bayern Munich have two big transfer targets so far. Paris Saint-Germain’s Nordi Mukiele is one of them, with a loan deal being discussed. As he can play as both a center back and a right back, he is both versatile and talented. Bayern have had some troubles in their defense, and a player like Mukiele could be very important.
Mukiele also wants to make the move due to his limited playing time in the French capital. He was not included in their squad in the last game, and Bayern are targeting that. While a permanent transfer is ruled out, a loan deal is being discussed, with an option to buy in the summer. Though it is very slowly progressing, with a contract until 2027, it may be very hard to get him.
Bayern will also have another transfer target if they fail to get Nordi Mukiele. They are also interested in Kieran Tripper, an English right back playing for Newcastle United. With only 18 months on his contract, Newcastle may be forced to part ways with him, as they also battle with Financial Fair Play rules.
However, his advanced age of 33, coupled with his poor performances this season, only make him a contingency transfer for Mukiele. If he does arrive, he will follow in the footsteps of English soccer players Harry Kane, who has been phenomenal for them, and Eric Dier.
Update on Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies contract situation
Bayern Munich also have another problem on their hands, as one of their most important players, Alphonso Davies, is not signing a contract extension. He is also rumored to want to join Real Madrid, who have made him a priority as well, along with Kylian Mbappe.
Madrid have reportedly asked the player not to sign a new deal to improve his chances of arriving in the Spanish capital. With his contract lasting until 2025, Bayern could be forced to sell him at the end of this season. Davies has also agreed terms with the Spanish giants.
The German giants are determined not to let it happen and have given him extension proposals with better salaries. But he has not responded to them yet. It looks like he has set his mind on going to Real Madrid, with his agent publicly speaking about it. Bayern are still ready to talk with him and his representatives until the end of the season.
While Bayern Munich will have a hectic transfer window, they will now focus on their next game in the Bundesliga against Werder tonight.
