Kim Min-jae's new partner is selected as 'Milan Barrier'
Bayern Munich is again interested in recruiting English players.
"Munich, which is still looking to strengthen its defense, has set Fikayo Tomori 25, AC Milan as a target for recruitment."
Munich's performance this season is not satisfactory. Having played 16 matches in the Bundesliga, it has only gained 41 points with 13 wins, two draws and one loss, staying in second place.
The thin center-back player base is pointed out as Munich's weakness. Last year, Bangjamain Pavard left the team suddenly, making it difficult to build a rotation.
The remaining center backs were burdened. Kim Min-jae played full-time in 15 consecutive games without a break, while Matthijs the Licht and Dayo Upamecano were injured alternately.
Eventually, a new center back was recruited. Munich announced on its official website on the 12th that it has signed a one-year lease with Eric Dier, which includes a one-year extension option.
It is not that the center back recruitment is no longer necessary. As the possibility of The Licht's departure this summer is being raised, the argument for recruiting an additional replacement to fill the gap in him is gaining weight.
Tomori has emerged as a strong candidate. "Munich is interested in signing Tomori even though he is currently injured," said Florian Plattenberg, a transfer market expert.
Tomori is well-known as a member of the Chelsea youth team. He was noted as a promising center back from an early age, and gained experience early on with Hull City and Derby County.
Its potential is in full bloom in Milan. After joining Milan in 2021, Tomori quickly established himself as a key defender of the team with his solid physique and explosive speed. 토토사이트 추천
He is considered one of the indispensable players in Milan. This season alone, he led Milan's defense by scoring three goals in 22 games across all competitions.
He was even called by the England national team. Tomori, who made his A-match debut in 2019, quickly emerged as the team's future by playing in the match against Malta in November last year.
Munich's interest in Tomori is serious. According to the latest report, Munich maintains a firm interest in Tomori at the request of Thomas Tuchel.
It is unlikely that the recruitment will be made. Milan is not willing to sell Tomori. It is expected that key defenders will not be allowed to leave the team during the season.
