FC Bayern wants to keep their feet still on the transfer market in winter. Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic still wants to follow developments at the World Cup closely.

It is an open secret that FC Bayern lacks a clear centre-forward. It is also clearly communicated that a commitment of a nine is not planned for the time being. Apart from that, the squad of the record champions is well and broadly occupied. Unsurprisingly, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic revealed that FC Bayern is not planning any transfers in winter. "I'm not the biggest fan of transfers in January because I usually complete the planning for a season in the summer," explained Brazzo in the club's own magazine. However, the 45-year-old did not want to categorically rule out movement in the squad planning. "But of course we will follow the World Cup very closely. I don't believe in big transfers - I hope above all that our many players get through the tournament healthy and injury-free," said Salihamidzic.

In addition, Salihamidzic explained the advantages of FC Bayern in transfer negotiations with interesting players. "Perspective is a key word. Every professional wants to be at a club where he can play at a high level for many years and win titles. Nowadays, a top player analyzes in advance what the conditions are. Brazzo was convinced that that the conditions mentioned at FCB are ideal." Our advantage is that our team is very well age-structured. On the other hand, we specifically rely on players who can occupy several positions. So we can broaden the quality in our squad. We have 19, 20 outfield players plus three goalkeepers - every new signing knows that there is tough competition, but in the end everyone will get enough playing time."
