James Rodriguez could apparently stay with FC Bayern Munich under one condition. Robert Lewandowski still has a big goal with the FCB. The transfer of Leroy Sane could become a bone of contention. Niko Kovac speaks today. Here you can find all news and rumours about FC Bayern.
James Rodriguez told the picture that he was basically happy in Munich. However, it is still unclear to what extent this will have an effect on the chances of remaining with FC Bayern. “I don’t know. All I can say is, I’m fine here, I’m comfortable. You’ll see next week.”
The decision of coach Niko Kovac is likely to be decisive: “If the Croatian player James is allowed more time in the coming season, the loan from Real Madrid would be happy to remain. The Bavarians can still activate a purchase option amounting to 42 million euros. According to the report, there is still time until 15 June.
In addition to a return to Madrid, the Juventus option appeared to be particularly attractive recently. For the time being, however, James will probably complete the DFB Cup final, then have talks with the Bayern bosses, before travelling to Brazil. There the top performer of the Colombian national team will compete in the Copa America.
Robert Lewandowski also feels very comfortable in Munich. The Pole emphasized this in an interview with the gala. “I have a great club in Munich and live in a great city,” said the Pole. Nevertheless he plans to return to Poland after his career in his home country Warsaw.

According to DailyMail, FC Bayern Munich must offer more than 100 million euros for Leroy Sane of Manchester City. This could lead to conflict with self-imposed boundaries.

“Of course we stick to that,” sports director Hasan Salihamidzic had announced in the SportBild. Accordingly, FC Bayern would have to find another agreement with the citizens. The English, however, are reluctant to give up Sane, as coach Pep Guardiola recently stressed. Correspondingly lengthy negotiations are threatening.
