The last few days of this transfer window could, after that it looks, still be tough. Bayern is looking for a defensive six and a defender, i.e. a replacement for Benjamin Pavard. In addition, Ryan Gravenberch could still leave the club.

In the meantime, it has been suggested that coach Thomas Tuchel should manage the season without his desired defensive six; meanwhile, it seems, FC Bayern is again looking for this player profile. Several candidates were and are being traded in Munich, discussed up and down. In addition to 24-year-old Declan Rice, who moved to FC Arsenal, the decision-makers on Säbener Straße, as reported by kicker, also spoke about and with 26-year-old Wilfred Ndidi from Leicester City.

Tuchel could have imagined the Nigerian in the position in front of the defense, since the 50-year-old had already wanted to lure him to Paris Saint-Germain. But now Bayern have other ideas on the home stretch of this transfer window. “There were very good discussions with those responsible at FC Bayern at all levels, primarily with Mr. Jan-Christian Dreesen,” says Franjo Vranjkovic, Ndidis’ adviser, the kicker: “In the end, however, it was decided that Wilfred would not the Holding Six at Bayern Munich.”

Means: The Munich have other candidates in focus. Scott McTominay (26) from Manchester United should be considered a candidate for the defensive six as well as now according to kicker information, several media also reported Joao Palhinha (28) from Fulham FC.
It is questionable whether Bayern is willing to agree to a purchase or prefers a loan deal. The transfer window closes on September 1st, so there isn’t much time left – but enough to do final work. This could also include a possible farewell to Ryan Gravenberch and the signing of a defender who ideally can defend in the center and on the right.
