FC Bayern are preparing an offer for Juve striker Mario Mandzukic. The professionals of the Munich team competed against each other in various challenges during yesterday’s team evening and Niko Kovac is facing the questions of the press today at 3 pm. Here you can find all news and rumours about the FCB.
FC Bayern are still looking for reinforcements for their squad after Leroy Sane’s injury and are now suddenly back with Mario Mandzukic on the sheet. That’s what Sky Italia reports.
According to the report, the German champion is on the verge of submitting an offer to Juventus Turin for a loan including a subsequent purchase option worth 15 million euros. At the beginning of July Sport Bild already reported on an interest of the Bavarians. However, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge had announced on the fringes of his trip to the USA that “nothing was planned in this direction”.
In the last few days the Croatian was on the verge of switching to Manchester United, but in the end both parties were unable to agree on a deal on Deadline Day. For Mandzukic, moving to Munich would be a return to his old place of work. The striker went already between 2012 and 2014 for the Bavarians on goal hunt.
On Friday FC Bayern had planned a day to switch off after the training strains of the past time. For this purpose, Niko Kovac organized a team evening for players and staff who competed against each other in various challenges.
At stations like “rubber boot long throw”, “Maßkrugscheim”, “Kuhmelken” or the “Bayern painters” all participants were allowed to compete in teams.
Afterwards, at the invitation of Bavarian President Uli Hoeneß, we had dinner together in a restaurant on Lake Tegernsee.
Before FC Bayern will have to deal with Energie Cottbus in the 1st round of the DFB Cup on Monday, coach Niko Kovac will be answering questions from the press today at 3 pm.
You can follow the press conference in the livestream on fcbayern.com and on the Youtube channel of Münchener.
