Reschke warns: Bayern squad still too thin despite Jackson deal | OneFootball

Michael Reschke, once a squad planner at FC Bayern, has critically evaluated the current transfer summer of the record champions. Despite the signing of Nicolas Jackson, he does not see Vincent Kompany's team as sufficiently broad for the long journeys in the Bundesliga and Champions League.

"The FC Bayern squad is too thinly staffed. They have 12, 13 good players, but after that it gets difficult, especially with a view to the Champions League," Reschke said on Sky.

With Luis Díaz (FC Liverpool), Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen), Tom Bischof (TSG Hoffenheim) and Nicolas Jackson (FC Chelsea), Bayern has only brought in four new additions. However, prominent departures stand against this: In addition to Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané and Kingsley Coman, Mathys Tel also left the club.

Bayern received prominent rejections

The Jackson loan is critically eyed by many fans and experts. Reschke emphasized that loan deals could indeed be a sensible solution, referring to an example from his own time at Bayern: "Basically, you can think about loan players to achieve squad stability, especially if you agree on purchase options. We did the same with Kingsley Coman back then."

In the search for reinforcements, the record champions also had to take bitter defeats. Florian Wirtz chose FC Liverpool, Nick Woltemade switched to Newcastle United for up to 90 million euros despite an agreement with the Munich team.

Despite these setbacks, Reschke does not blame chief squad planner Max Eberl: "The behavior of FC Bayern is completely normal. They are interested in the players, set a transfer limit and if it then fails, you are just the second winner. I have always known FC Bayern to be very economically sensible."
