According to Sky Deutschland's Florian Plettenberg.
Bayern
Munich's decision to put 24-year-old center back Matthijs de Ligt on the transfer shelf this summer was a surprising one. Bayern reportedly needed to sell de Ligt to raise
capital
and reduce payroll expenditures.
Plettenberg said on social media, "It's a surprising decision, but Bayern need money and 24-year-old Drieht is highly sought after in the transfer market. On top of that, Bayern wanted to save salary space. Drieht's contract with Bayern is valid until 2027."
As a replacement, Bayern have set their sights on Leverkusen center back Jonathan Tah. Bayern have reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Tah that is valid until 2029 and will soon open formal talks with Leverkusen.
In addition, Colwill is also on Bayern's reinforcement list. With these reinforcements, Bayern hope to fill the void left by the possible departure of Drieht.
Drieght has been an important part of the team's defense since joining Bayern and his departure will undoubtedly have an impact on the team. However, the Bayern management believes that by bringing in Ta and other potential targets, they can maintain the stability and competitiveness of their defense.
Fans will be watching this development closely to see how the team operates in the transfer market and ensure that they remain strong in the new season. The departure of Drieght and the addition of Tower will be one of the key things to watch in the transfer market this summer.
