Recently, multiple sources have confirmed that the newly appointed

The club's hierarchy was dissuaded from keeping center back Üpamekano and selling another center back, Derek De Rijkert, instead. The move sparked widespread discussion and questions, particularly from leading German journalists Kerry Hau and Florian Plettenberg.
It would be a mistake," says Kerry Hau! The Bayern hierarchy needs to think twice: Driehlt has been Bayern's most consistent center-back in the Champions League over the past two years, and at only 24 years old, he still has a lot of potential to develop. He not only has leadership qualities, but also identifies very well with the club."
Hau added: "Eberle has previously stated that he wants to put together a squad that really identifies with the club and Drieght is one of them. While Drieght isn't 100% satisfactory, Bayern haven't had any players at their absolute best in recent years either. With Neuer and Muller likely to retire, Drieht is one of the few players in the squad who can take over the leadership."
Florian Plettenberg expressed similar sentiments, "I find it hard to believe that Derek Hector will leave the team. First of all, he's a leader player; secondly, the fans identify with him, while Yu Pamekano and Minjae Kim have not been performing well in recent months."
Plettenberg further stated, "Bayern really need to put more trust in the management now. If Eberl, Freund and Kompany are thinking this way, then their wishes should be followed. If Kompany sees any qualities in Jonathon Towers and Colville, you can only trust the new Bayern manager."
However, the sale of Derek has not been easy. Drieht is a highly paid player with a long contract in the Bayern team, and the transfer involves complex economic factors. plettenberg mentioned: "Tuchel realized this problem last year, many Bayern players firstly do not want to leave the team, and secondly can not find a suitable next home."
It remains to be seen whether this decision will affect Bayern's future performance. Fans and pundits are keeping a close eye on the club's next move, hoping that the team will remain strong in the new season.
