Thomas Tuchel said goodbye to the audience of the Allianz Arena at the weekend, and then Bayern Munich announced the departure of two more footballers.
In a relatively unusual way in football circles, before the Bayern Munich-Wolfsburg league match, the local speaker thanked Jean-Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who strengthened the Bavarian team for a total of four seasons. The German-born, Cameroon national team striker was part of Bayern Munich starting from the 2020/21 season, although he mainly played an additional role behind Robert Lewandowski. In 2020, Paris Saint-Germain released the 35-year-old footballer for free, for whom they have not officially paid a single penny of transfer fee during his career as a professional player, according to the Transfermarkt database. After the match, the club’s website and the striker confirmed that they are indeed parting ways.
The other departure is Bouna Sarr, who also arrived four seasons ago, for whom Marseille was paid 8 million euros in 2020. The audience bid farewell to the 32-year-old Senegalese footballer – before the championship against Wolfsburg – on the lawn of the Allianz Arena. Choupo-Moting could not be present due to a cold.
