Ousmane Dembele is currently closely associated with a transfer to Bayern Munich. Accordingly, the Munich team is already in contact with the players and sees the 25-year-old as a replacement for Serge Gnabry, who is willing to change. According to recent reports, Dembele can imagine a move to the German record champions. However, there is a sticking point.
Dembele is available on a free transfer this summer, making him one of the most sought-after players in the upcoming transfer period. In addition to FC Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain and several top English clubs are also vying for the winger.
After “SPORT1” information However, Bayern do not have a bad starting position in the transfer poker for the Barça star. According to the TV broadcaster, Dembele can “well imagine a transfer to Bayern”. Reason: The Munich team already has a large number of French players under contract. Accordingly, Kingsley Coman & Co. only told their national teammates good things about the record champions.
Salary demands could become a stumbling block
Even if the track is getting hotter and hotter, there is still a (big) sticking point. As “SPORT1” wants to know, Dembele currently earns between 20 and 24 million euros at FC Barcelona. It can hardly be assumed that he will be willing to receive less in the future. This would mean that the Frenchman would immediately rise to become the top earner on Säbener Straße and succeed Robert Lewandowski, who would like to leave the club in the summer.
According to “SPORT1” there are doubts as to whether Bayern are willing to pay the offensive player such a salary, as this would shake up the salary structure. In addition, a so-called signing fee is also due. In plain language: Dembele and his advisor are demanding a bonus. How much money is involved is currently unknown.
As the French “L’Equipe” reports, Bayern are currently offering Dembele a 4-year contract and a salary of 18 million euros. It will be exciting to see whether the Munich team can really outperform the competition.
