Bayern: emergency transfers – is Salihamidzic bringing FCB legend to Munich...

Munich – It’s been tough weeks. Not just for FC Bayern Munich. All other clubs in football Europe are groaning under the massive one game schedule. With the International matches there is now an additional burden on the stars.

From friendlies and Nations League you can keep what you want – but the fact is that the national associations also need money. That is why these games are extremely important to collect TV money – the DFB manager emphasized Oliver Bierhoff already several times.

Back to Säbener Strasse: Everything recently turned around there Joshua Kimmich. The midfield motor injured its outer meniscus and has already been operated on. He’s been out for months – of course, a big weakening for the Reds. And Kimmich isn’t the only one hurt. Also Alphonso Davies still missing for a long time, other players like Bouna Sarr or Leon Goretzka recently dragged minor wounds with them.

FC Bayern Munich: Do you need a broader squad?

It is no wonder that the clubs are affected by injuries, given the tight schedule. The Bavarians have therefore already strengthened themselves extremely broadly before the season. But what if that is no longer enough and you need some kind of immediate help because suddenly so many stars are absent? When looking at the list of players who are currently without a contract, one or the other fan could go into raptures.

First of all: With discarded players, the Bavaria is unlikely to be a concernjust in case. Nevertheless: There are some well-known names on the market that would be immediately available. For example Jack Wilshere.

Jack Wilshere: Former child prodigy is without a club

The 28-year-old midfielder was once considered the greatest talent in English football. At the FC Arsenal he then showed his potential – but too rarely. Wilshere was repeatedly thrown back from injuries, caused scandals off the pitch. So he never made it to the mega career that he could definitely have made in football. His contract with West Ham United was dissolved at the end of the previous transfer period.

Mario Mandzukic: Bayern’s triple hero currently has no club

Hard to believe: Mario Mandzukic (34) is currently available free of charge. The former super clippers still delivered goals on the assembly line after his time in Bayern (88 games, 48 ​​hits). At Atletico Madrid there were still 20 booths in 43 games Juventus Turin the Croatian came to 44 goals in 162 encounters. At the beginning of the year the Triple winner from 2013 to Qatar, in July he terminated his contract with Al-Duhail. Since then “Mandzu” has been without a club.

Shinji Kagawa: Ex-BVB hero no longer asked

Such a rapid ascent like Shinji Kagawa Very few players experience (31). The Japanese came in 2010 for a ridiculous price from Osaka too Borussia Dortmund. There he quickly got them in 2011 and 2012 German championship, even put that in his second year DFB-Pokal on it. The rocket launch was followed by a blatant crash – Kagawa became to Manchester United sold, eventually returned to BVB back from where he started Besiktas Istanbul was awarded. In 2019, the midfielder said goodbye to Dortmund Saragossa, the contract was terminated there in October 2020.

Ezequiel Garay: Argentinians played in the World Cup final against Germany

Also available for free: Ezequiel Garay. The 34-year-old central defender stood in World Cup Final 2014 on that place. In the end, he and his Argentinians were left behind Germany – Mario Götze let the DFB-Elf cheer. Garay ran for Real Madrid, Benfica Lisbon, Zenit Saint Petersburg and most recently for the FC Valencia on. His contract there ended in July.

Other well-known players who are currently without a club:

That Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic actually served on this “leftover ramp” is very unlikely. But: Mario Götze is currently proving in Eindhoven how valuable a player can be who has not received a new contract with a club.
