Overslept a transfer? Bayern too late with England star | OneFootball

Transfer planning for the new season is currently in full swing at FC Bayern. Several players are being linked with FCB, but one candidate is probably too late

The rumor mill is of course buzzing and as it is generally known that Bayern is currently on the lookout for new players for the offensive, the record champions are also regularly linked with players

Currently it seems that Ismael Saibari and Nathaniel Brown are the number one and two transfer targets. Apart from them, however, there are still numerous alternatives being discussed. One of them is obviously Junior Kroupi, the shooting star from AFC Bournemouth

Bayern too late with Kroupi deal

He moved from Lorient to Bournemouth in February 2025, was then loaned back to France for another half-season and then took off in England. As reported in the Bayern Insider podcast, Bayern have enquired about the player, but in the meantime there are many teams from England who are very solvent, but the sum demanded is also very high

It is said that Bayern’s chances have already dropped significantly, especially as it can be assumed that a package of up to 100 million euros for a player who is still very young and has not yet consistently proven his class would also be too big a bet for Bayern

The fact remains that the financial balance must be maintained in this summer transfer window, and Max Eberl has the task of generating revenue and not making too big a transfer deficit

Although Kroupi scored 13 goals in just under 1700 minutes in the Premier League and made Arsenal champions with his goal against Man City, this only justifies the sum to a limited extent from Bayern’s point of view. However, clubs like Arsenal, who are more financially strong, will not be put off by this, it is said.
