If Twitter is anything to go by, Di Zerbi is now the preferred candidate for the Bayern job. Getting Nagelsmann back is apparently dividing the board at Bayern so it would make that option difficult! I don’t think you want to appoint a manager that will be at the Euros half the summer anyway.
I honestly think a Di Zerbi appointment would be good for any potential summer business we do with Bayern. There is no denying Di Zerbi is a talented manager but he’s only managed Brighton, lacking that elite club level experience! I do think his system would work better with the players at Bayern however there is no denying it’s a risky appointment. If I was Kimmich, Musiala, Sane and a whole other bunch of players who haven’t yet renewed, I would be slightly miffed with a Di Zerbi appointment and I would question whether the new manager is right to take Bayern back to previous heights.
Eberl (Bayern DoF) even stated in an interview that he would not allow players to leave for free and that difficult decisions would have to be made this summer. I predict an exodus, you only have to watch Bayern this season to see players aren’t happy. I can see Kimmich gone, but I think Musiala would have to make it very clear he isn’t going to renew to facilitate a move this summer. I don’t buy this not for sale narrative around him, Bayern need to cash in this summer if they know Musiala isn’t going to renew, rather losing money next summer. I can see Bayern doing a Manchester United to be honest.
Very very interesting summer ahead! Txiki please be in Musiala’s ears telling him Pep wants to renew What a signing that would be!
