FC Bayern Munich will start the Bundesliga season shortly. Will there be a transfer hammer with the record champions before that?
Munich – Julian Nagelsmann has to be patient first. His first competitive game for FC Bayern Munich * was postponed to August 25th. The corona chaos at DFB Cup opponents Bremer SV made the staging on August 6 impossible. So the wait for the start of the season continues.
The Bayern fans are still waiting for the announcement of newcomers. The bosses recently emphasized that they no longer wanted to be active in the transfer market. The latest failures have shown once again that the FCB squad may be a little too thin in one place or another.
FC Bayern Munich: transfers in summer? Franck Ribéry astonishingly often in the FCB jersey
One thing is clear: if, contrary to expectations, there are still new players, then they have to be cheap. The corona crisis cost Bavaria several millions, there were huge sales losses in many places. Therefore, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic has to get creative and possibly work with loans or free transfers.
Lionel Messi is on a free transfer – but his salary will hardly be affordable for Munich. No, the Argentine superstar won’t hit the Säbener Straße *. But maybe an old friend?
It’s amazing how much Bayern legend Franck Ribéry is currently demonstrating his love for his former employer. A few weeks ago he posted his villa in Grünwald in his Instagram story and wrote “at home” under it. Then he trained with his ex-Bayern colleague Jerome Boateng and wrote the telling note: “We are still in great shape.” Both players are currently without a club. Boateng’s contract with the record champions had expired, Ribéry had said goodbye to Fiorentina.

But it goes on. Ribéry posted a picture of his visit to his old place of work. It shows him arm in arm together with the new CEO of FC Bayern: Oliver Kahn. He wrote: “In safe hands! Hello Titan! ”In safe hands? What’s in the bush? Is Kahn holding a new addition here that nobody would have expected?

But that’s not all, Ribéry goes one better! On Friday, August 6th, he posted a new story early in the morning. It shows a short pan into the fitness room of his Grünwald villa. The 38-year-old puts “04:39” and “Gooo” on the post. Early riser Ribéry continues to work on his top form. Striking: The FCB motto is painted on the wall – “Mia san mia”. Are all the references to his Bayern past just coincidence?
The Frenchman never made a secret of the fact that Munich is his adopted home and that FC Bayern means a lot to him. Of course, his recent social media activities are now making fans dream. Is Ribéry coming back? The record champions could use a fourth winger. The FCB icon was injured again and again in the past and would probably cost a hefty salary. But maybe the deal is already “in safe hands”? It remains exciting. (akl) * tz.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
