Bayern Munich to pay €100M for Bundesliga star?

This has been quite a week for Bayern Munich, eh?

Those rumors linking Bayern Munich to Eintracht Frankfurt standout Randal Kolo Muani had some fans excited at the prospect of the talented Frenchman taking the reins as the new No. 9 in Bavaria.

If you were one of those folks, you might want to reconsider now that we know the (alleged) asking price from Eintracht Frankfurt:

Bayern are monitoring Kolo Muani, but there’s still no contact. The player’s plan is to stay in Frankfurt next season if they qualify to Europe. Otherwise, it would be tough for Eintracht to keep him beyond the summer. Price tag in the summer likely around €100m.

For €100 million, I think I want a more established (and frankly better) player. This is not a knock on Kolo Muani, but nine figures is a lot of money.

Whatever eventually happens with Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham remains to be seen, but we do know that he will not leave the club this winter. Liverpool FC, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are considered the top contenders for the BVB midfielder:

Which jersey will Jude Bellingham wear next summer? Staying at BVB seems increasingly unlikely, also due to the strong performance at BVB. The Spanish sports newspaper As from Madrid is now writing about an “ultimate summit” that is to be held in the coming days. Accordingly, BVB asked the Bellingham side for a meeting at which the 19-year-old should announce his decision whether he wanted to leave the club at the end of the season.

This meeting, in which Dortmund’s boss Hans-Joachim Watzke and sports director Sebastian Kehl are to take part, should take place before January 6th. Then BVB travels to the training camp in Marbella. According to SPORT1 information, the club is now assuming a farewell, but a change in winter is definitely out of the question, regardless of Bellingham’s decision.

With Liverpool FC, Manchester City and Real Madrid, three clubs have the highest hopes for one of the greatest talents in world football.

Borussia Dortmund wants to meet with Bellingham to get a feel for what he is thinking regarding his future:

Borussia Dortmund will demand a meeting with Jude Bellingham before January 6 for an answer about his future. Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid are the leading suitors for his signature.
