Bayern, market dream costs over 100 million euros

With the winter soccer session over, Bayern Munich is already focused on the summer and Max Eberl has a long list of targets to expand and improve Vincent Kompany’s squad. Also on the list is the name of Sandro Tonali, a Newcastle star whom the Bavarian club has been monitoring for some time.

The Italian star is having an excellent season in England and is back on Bayern Munich&#8217s radar as a possible reinforcement for Kompany&#8217s midfield despite the fact that the department already boasts top-notch elements (Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlović, Tom Bischof and others). The biggest obstacle to Sandro Tonali&#8217s purchase is the price.

According to BBC reports, Newcastle will sit at the negotiating table only if an offer of at least 100 million euros comes in, a very high figure that poses a big problem for Bayern Munich.

The club has been working for a long time to reduce the costs of the team and to avoid such huge expenses (except in exceptional cases such as Harry Kane, who was paid 95 million euros). In addition there’s competition from Real Madrid, which could therefore raise Tonali&#8217s price even further.

In the summer, with the farewell of Leon Goretzka, a box will be freed up in Bayern Munich’s midfield: the champion has already publicly stated that he will leave the club but it is still unclear what his next destination will be. Atletico Madrid has already had several contacts with Goretzka&#8217s entourage and at the moment seems to be the most concrete option but Manchester United and Tottenham also want to give it a try. It is possible that Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, after contacts in December, will again try to convince him to move to Turkey.

Practically nil chances of seeing Leon Goretzka in Italy: AC Milan and Napoli sounded the ground and inquired about the costs but eventually decided not to proceed due to the high demands of the midfielder’s agents. The total price of the’operation (Goretzka&#8217s salary and commission to the attorneys) is too high for the coffers of Italian clubs.
