According to SPORT1 information, another candidate has aroused Bayern’s interest - and may fit the profile they are looking for even better. His name: Pau Torres! The Spaniard, who plays for Villarreal FC, is in his prime at 26 and, as a left-footed player, would be ideal to take Hernández’s place. As SPORT1 learned, the people of Munich are already in contact with Torres’ management and have expressed their interest during a first scan.

Since Pavard and Hernandez are scheduled to leave Bayern, it’s good to see they’re in talks for replacements on the backline.

I thought min-jae kim is our prime target. Atleast according to all the other rumours. Are we looking for multiple replacements?

Yes that seems to be true according to multiple sources, also this one from the same site.

I would assume they would try to make two transfers for the backlines replacing both Pavard and Hernandez. Between Pau Torres and Kim Min-jae the latter looks to be more realistic, although I have just found multiple sources citing a Kim Min-jae move to Manchester United…

I guess we still have Mazraoui and Stanisic as right backs to fall on.

Arent both kim and pau centre backs. I dont see how either of them could properly replace pavard's contribution at RB. We also need to buy a good right back like a cancelo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately it looks like Bayern aren’t triggering the buy option for Cancelo which is disappointing, but sadly not unexpected…

You’re right, both Torres and Kim are centre backs, so effectively one of them will be replacing Hernandez. As for a Pavard replacement it’s looking worse unless like I said we give Mazraoui much more playtime.

Buy clause at 70 mil was never going to be triggered. It was earlier thought that bayern would negotiate a lower fee for him but suddenly that talk has died down.

we give Mazraoui much more playtime

Hopefully then he will stop bitching and moaning about not being able to play consistently

I thought Gravenberch was the one moaning about not enough playtime, but maybe they are both!

Yeah both of them were moaning about lack of playtime. But it makes less sense in maz's case because he got decent time on the pitch this year and was injured for part of the season. If he came thinking he would be a starter in most games then his expectations seem delusional
