According to transfer expert Manuel Veth of Transfermarkt, Bayern are closely monitoring Akanji’s contract situation. the 26-year-old defender’s current deal with Dortmund expires in 2023, and he has reportedly rejected their latest contract offer.

While Bayern are known to be seeking a Süle replacement, they are reportedly hesitant to pay a transfer fee. Their initial target, Andreas Christensen, opted to join FC Barcelona rather.

The coming months will be crucial in determining Akanji’s future. Will he remain at Dortmund and risk a free transfer next summer, or will Bayern Munich make a move to secure his services? Only time will tell.
Bayern’s Maneuvering: Will Akanji Become Süle’s Successor?
Welcome, football fans, to another insightful discussion about the exciting world of transfers and tactics. today, we’re diving deep into the rumor mill surrounding Bayern munich’s pursuit of Borussia Dortmund’s talented defender, Manuel Akanji, as a potential replacement for the departing Niklas Süle.
Joining me today is the legendary former Bayern Munich defender, Lothar Matthäus, a man who knows a thing or two about what it takes to build a championship-winning team. Lothar, thanks for joining us.
Lothar: It’s a pleasure to be here. These transfer rumors are always exciting, and I’m eager to see how this situation unfolds.
Moderator: Let’s get right into it. Bayern is reportedly hesitant to spend big on a new center-back, but Akanji’s proven abilities and potential availability for a fee below Dortmund’s asking price make him an engaging proposition. What are your thoughts on whether Bayern should pull the trigger on this deal?
Lothar: I understand Bayern’s reluctance to overspend, especially after missing out on Christensen. But, Akanji is a top-quality defender, and finding replacements for Süle is crucial for Bayern’s ambitions. If Dortmund is willing to negotiate a reasonable fee, I think it’s a risk worth taking.
Moderator: Now, Akanji is reportedly seeking a hefty salary, something around €10 million per year, wich Dortmund is unwilling to meet.
Do you think Bayern would be willing to meet these demands, considering their strict wage structure?
Lothar: Bayern always aims to be financially responsible, but a player of Akanji’s caliber deserves to be well compensated. They’ve splurged on big names in the past, and I think if they see Akanji as a future cornerstone of their defense, they’ll find a way to make it work
Moderator: There are also rumors linking Bayern with Matthias Ginter and Gleison Bremer as potential alternatives.What do you make of these options?
Lothar: Ginter is a solid, experienced Bundesliga defender, but I believe Akanji has a higher ceiling. Bremer is a young and exciting prospect,but coming from Serie A,it might take time for him to adapt to the Bundesliga.
Moderator: This upcoming summer transfer window promises to be quite eventful, especially for Bayern Munich. Do you think Akanji will remain at Dortmund, risk a free transfer next season, or will Bayern make a move to secure his services?
Lothar: It’s a tough call. Dortmund won’t want to lose him for free, but they also need to weigh Akanji’s wage demands against their budget.
I suspect Bayern, desperate for a Süle replacement, might be the team that comes out on top.
Moderator: That’s a engaging prediction, Lothar.Thank you for sharing your insights.
