According to current media reports, Julian Nagelsmann is anything but satisfied with the personal development at FC Bayern. The impending departures of Niklas Süle and possibly Corentin Tolisso will weaken Munich’s defense again in the summer. If the record champions do not commit to an adequate replacement, Nagelsmann believes that FCB is at risk of losing its international competitiveness.
FC Bayern is playing the most important game of the season so far on Tuesday evening. In the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League against FC Salzburg, Munich cannot afford to make any mistakes, otherwise FCB are threatened with premature elimination from the premier class. This would be a major setback for the 2020 CL winner.
Julian Nagelsmann also seems to think intensively about the Champions League. Above all, the 34-year-old asks himself whether Bayern will still be able to keep up with the top clubs from England and Spain in the future.
Bayern’s austerity course worries Nagelsmann
It is an open secret that Julian Nagelsmann wanted to add more staff to his squad in winter, but the Bayern bosses vetoed it. After “SPORT1” information the FCB coach hopes that he will get new players next summer. There is a great need, especially on the defensive. With the departure of Niklas Süle, Bayern need a new central defender. From Nagelsmann’s point of view, the right-back position is also anything but ideal. Should Corentin Tolisso leave Munich, there will also be a need in defensive midfield.
The problem: Bayern are still sticking to their Corona austerity course. There will be no expensive newcomers in the summer. Also because the club recently spent a lot of money on the contract extensions of Joshua Kimmich & Co. and further extensions with Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller and Robert Lewandowski are pending.
If the German record champions do not improve their defensive quality in the coming changeover period, Nagelsmann expects that “the goals at international level will have to be lowered”, as “SPORT1” reports.
