After Hernández-Aus: This is how FC Bayern plans with transfers

Lucas Hernández's departure is a heavy loss for Bayern Munich. The defender suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in France's World Cup opener. The personnel situation in the Bayern defensive comes to a head. Now there is first information about possible transfer plans.

It was a bitter moment for everyone involved: In the ninth minute of France's World Cup opener, Lucas Hernández tried to stop Australia's Matthew Leckie from dribbling, but unfortunately twisted his right knee in the action. The diagnosis was a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament. The injury doesn't just mean the World Cup for Hernández. The flexible defender will also be absent from FC Bayern Munich for a few months.

In view of the personnel situation in the defense of the record champions, the question is: will the FCB managers still be active on the winter transfer market? Now there seems to be clarity. Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg reported on Transfer Update - the show on Friday that Bayern has no plans to take action. "You will not and do not want to do anything in winter," said transfer expert Plettenberg.

In the past few days, the name Borna Sosa has repeatedly been mentioned in the media. Sky reported a few weeks ago that VfB Stuttgart wanted to let the left-back go in winter. The strong offensive Croatian would fit the requirements profile of FC Bayern and is said to have been Julian Nagelsmann's dream player for a long time. However, Sosa is not an issue. "Neither in winter nor in summer," Plettenberg made clear.

Kicker reported shortly after the injury became known that Munich did not want to react to Hernández's absence. "We will not do anything in winter," said sports director Hasan Salihamidzic to the magazine. Until then, it was speculated whether the 45-year-old had made the statement for reasons of transfer tactics. That doesn't seem to be the case. FC Bayern will apparently not sign a Hernández replacement.
