A lot of talk that he could be on the market this summer. Sule and Hernández are two big money centre halves at Bayern, and while Alaba was probably expected to be the left-back - the emergence of Alphonso Davies has been something special.
Anyway, with us having a few gaps to plug, I think he’d be a great Sancho+1 signing. Would be cheaper than the Sancho + 3 we ideally need, but would provide a world class option in all 3 roles. He’s only about 27, and if we could get Sancho, adding him would be like getting Sancho plus DM, LB and CB all at a level that is better than the first choice options we currently have. Perhaps in future windows, we can sign specialists in some roles and consign him to one specialist role.
I think he’s been mainly linked with Real Madrid, but he’s a brilliant player.
