Bayern Munich continue to plan their moves for the new season, with the German champions looking to strengthen their defensive department during the summer transfer window.
One of the names that continues to be linked with a move to the Allianz Arena is Inter central defender Yann Bisseck. The 25-year-old defender has had a very good season with the Italian club and his performances have caught the attention of the Bavarian leaders.
According to “Gazzetta dello Sport”, Bisseck is on Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl’s shortlist, while the player himself is seen as the ideal profile for the German champions’ project.
The report states that the former Cologne player is intrigued by the possibility of returning to Germany and playing as a regular starter in the Bundesliga, especially at a club that fights every season for the Champions League trophy.
Bisseck’s career has taken a dramatic turn in recent years. After failing to break through at Cologne, he went on loan for a number of seasons before moving to Aarhus in Denmark. It was there that his rise began, which eventually led him to Inter, where he has become a pillar of the defence.
A few weeks ago, the German defender admitted that he felt honored by the reports linking him with Bayern, although he emphasized that after the long season he wanted to rest first before making decisions about the future.
Inter are not willing to give up one of their most important defenders easily, but the financial situation could force the Italian club to listen to offers. According to Italian media, the Nerazzurri are asking for around 40 million euros for the 25-year-old.
Now it remains to be seen whether Bayern Munich will take the concrete step to transfer Bisseck, who could be one of the most talked about names of the summer transfer market in Germany.
