In 2020, many Bayern Munich followers lastly thought the membership had settled on a next-generation midfield.

Thiago Alcantara was stricken by accidents and had already indicated he may look to maneuver on, however the tandem of Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka was starting to appear like fairly the partnership – one that might conceivably rule it for membership and nation.

However issues have modified.

Kimmich has turn out to be a participant no Bayern coach would dare move up (or perhaps a break day), whereas Goretzka has turn out to be the topic of ire from some followers and the brand new coach, Thomas Tuchel.

Based on journalist Maximilian Koch, the Abendzeitung (as captured by @employee), Bayern Munich is searching for one other midfielder so as to add to the combination:

Along with the striker, Bayern Munich and Thomas Tuchel are searching for a powerful defensive midfielder and play the ball to help Joshua Kimmich in midfield.

Sport1’s Kerry Hau additionally had the same function on his podcast (as captured by @employee):

Bayern is critically contemplating strengthening the midfield, whatever the inclusion of Konrad Leimer. Wished is a participant who brings management and creativity, which has been lacking since Thiago left the membership.

Officers are in no way proud of Leon Goretzka this season. His lack of consistency is troubling. They anticipate him to enhance his efficiency.

Will probably be attention-grabbing to notice, nevertheless, that Kimmich – for all the nice he does – does not have an outlined midfield function. It is not a box-to-box menace. He is not the ball management and level guard sort. It’s not harmful. He’s good, however discovering a companion for him might be troublesome as a result of his model of play might be troublesome to mix in with.

Say what you’ll about Goretzka, however he discovered find out how to work with Kimmich and vice versa. If true, this report appears to point that Goretzka might have to search for a brand new house. A brand new midfielder, in addition to Kimmich, Ryan Gravenberch and previously coveted RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer (no person actually is aware of how Thomas Tuchel feels about him).
