The new Bayern Munich General Manager furthermore said “Chances are low we will acquire another transfer this sommer period. If we put some money on the transfer market than it will definitely be the right back position – but I don’t know who we should transfer for this specific position. We’re not under pressure and have an excellent working youth academy with some brilliant youngsters.”
