Florian Neuhaus of all people gave FC Bayern its first defeat since the end of September 2020 with a dream goal last Friday.
The Neuhaus that the people of Munich have long had on their wish lists!
But how realistic is a Bayern change of the national player really? (ANALYSIS: The transfer construction sites of FC Bayern)
Neuhaus has an exit clause at Gladbach
The 23-year-old midfielder is still tied to Borussia Mönchengladbach until 2024.
After SPORT1-Information, however, a flexible exit clause was incorporated into the contract, which is well above its current market value of 28 million euros (according to transfermarkt.de).
Specifically: If the foal elf is athletically successful, Neuhaus has no clause. In the event of failure, he can leave early for a set price.
After the 3-2 home win against Bayern, the Gladbachers are in seventh place in the table and would currently not be qualified for the Europa League, which could correspond to that specified failure case. (The table of the Bundesliga)
Bavaria would have to dig deep into their pockets for Neuhaus
Regardless of whether with or without a clause to leave Neuhaus early from Gladbach, it would be an expensive pleasure for the people of Munich. His teammate Denis Zakaria, also a midfield all-rounder and on Bayern’s list, would be cheaper.
The contract of the 24-year-old Swiss expires in 2022. In the summer it would be the last chance for Borussia to collect a transfer fee. Zakaria’s advisor Damir Smoljan (Lian Sports) recently brought Leroy Sané to Munich.
Bayern want to strengthen themselves in the central midfield, as the contract with Javi Martínez will not be extended and Hasan Salihamidzic does not want to take the 7.5 million euro purchase option for Tiago Danta’s Lisbon loan.

Upamecano will also be expensive for FCB
The even bigger and possibly more expensive construction site, however, is the central defense. The contracts of David Alaba and Jérôme Boateng are also running, which is why Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano (contract until 2023) is a hot candidate.
The 22-year-old has a 42 million euro release clause. A sum that Bayern are after SPORT1-Information does not deter.
Upamecano and Neuhaus in a package could cost Bavaria well over 70 million euros. A lot of money that has to be raised in the context of the unclear financial situation due to the Corona crisis. (Results and schedule of the Bundesliga)
Especially since there are three possible free transfers (David Alaba, Jérôme Boateng, Martínez).
Neuhaus wants to take the next step – to FC Bayern?
Neuhaus himself would like to take the next step in the coming summer. A move to Bayern is obvious.
Not least because the three-time German national player, born in Landsberg am Lech in Upper Bavaria, said tellingly about a possible move to FC Bayern: “I don’t want to commit myself. FC Bayern is a big club. I have a team with the national team met a couple of guys from Bayern who only speak positively about the club. “
In addition, Neuhaus’ father is himself a huge fan of the German record champions.

Gladbach boss Eberl: “Why shouldn’t Neuhaus stay with us?”
Gladbach’s sports director Max Eberl wrestled the Bayern rumors from only a mild smile.
Eberl agreed SPORT1 as early as November: “I sometimes ask myself: What do we want? On the one hand, we all want a competition in which other clubs can become champions. But on the other hand, these players are then written to this club again. Why not just say: ‘Hey, cool! Something is developing in Gladbach.’ Why shouldn’t a Florian Neuhaus stay with us? “
To convince him of this, Gladbach’s qualification for Europe will become all the more important. At best for the Champions League, because Neuhaus’ goals are ambitious. He wants to become a regular player for the Löw national team for the European Championship.
Neuhaus’ advisor is the former Bayern professional and sports director Christian Nerlinger. So the wires should be short.
