Photo by Nicolò Campo/LightRocket via Getty Images All signs are pointing toward Bayern Munich and Inter Milan working out a deal for Ivan Perisic. According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Inter Milan has not called up Ivan Perisic for today’s friendly against Valencia. The omission of the 30-year-old Croatia international has fueled speculation that Perisic is in the final stages of a move to Bayern Munich. With rumors flowing all day on Friday, it seems that the Bayern Munich and Inter Milan could truly be in the final stages of completing a deal. Ivan Perisic has not been called up for friendly match against Valencia. Inter are in talks to sell him on loan + buy option to Bayern Münich, the agreement is getting closer. #transfers #Bayern— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 10, 2019Romano also provided some financial details on what the deal might look like: View this post on Instagram Ivan Perisic is close to Bayern!

Now it’s time for Perisic’s decision and it’ll be done. #bayern #inter #perisic #bayernmünichOne of the primary reasons that Bayern Munich is acting so swiftly in trying to procure Perisic is because of the ACL injury sustained last week by Manchester City’s Leroy Sane during the Community Shield match against Liverpool.With chatter that Sane would be playing his final game under Pep Guardiola last weekend, Sane suffered damage to his knee that has caused confusion and delay to Bayern Munich’s transfer plans. With Sane considered to be the primary target of the Bavarians this summer, the club was left to scramble and find alternatives with just a few weeks left in the transfer window. Read more...

Report: Bayern Munich to pass on Ivan Perisic’s current price tag
FC Bayern Muenchen - Training Session Photo by M. Donato/FC Bayern via Getty ImagesPer sources in Italy, Bayern Munich is not eager to pay Inter Milan €20 million for Ivan Perisic, but might try to work out a deal at a much lower cost.Reports out of Italy indicate that Bayern Munich will not exercise its option to buy Ivan Perisic when his loan assignment expires on June 30th. The cost for Perisic is €20 million, which Bayern Munich has reportedly deemed too expensive for the current financial climate.This development, however, does not mean that the Bavarians are completely done with the 31-year-old Croatia international. Should Inter Milan be willing to lower its asking price, Bayern Munich would be interested in bringing Perisic back per Italian journalist Nico Shira.Shira broke the latest news on Perisic via Twitter:#BayernMunich have decided not to use the option to buy for Ivan #Perisic. Too much the €20M agreed last summer with #Inter. In the next weeks new contacts still possible: Bayern could keep him only if the price gets lower. #transfers— Nicolò Schira (@NicoSchira) May 14, 2020BFW AnalysisAs has been assumed for weeks, Bayern Munich is unwilling to plunk down a significant fee for a player who would likely be a back-up next season. Perisic, however, still holds value to the Bavarians given his performance on the pitch and perceived willingness to accept a reserve role at this stage of his career.With Manchester City’s Leroy Sane allegedly on his way to Munich this summer and Kingsley Coman suddenly being linked to several big clubs, Perisic just might find himself back in Bavaria for the 2020/21 season — just with at a much lower cost to Die Roten.Read more...

Romano indicated that Bayern Munich submitted a bid of €12 million for Perisic, while Inter is insisting on €15 million.With only a €3 million difference between the sides, it looks like there could be a compromise in sight if talks continue.Bayern Münich have offered €12m for Ivan Perisic. Inter will not accept any bid for less than €15m. Talks on. Hansi Flick wants him back. <a href="https://twitter.com/SkySport?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SkySport</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Inter?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Inter</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bayern?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bayern</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/transfers?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#transfers</a>— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1300783085542428674?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 1, 2020</a>As Romano’s tweet indicates, Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick would like to bring back Peri&scaron;i&#263;, despite already adding Leroy Sané to the team’s group of wingers. Sane, <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/epl/players/221679/serge-gnabry">Serge Gnabry</a>, and Kingsley Coman represent the team’s first three options, but Peri&scaron;i&#263; could, again, prove to be invaluable as a veteran depth piece, who can provide stable and consistent play when called upon.<strong>BFW Analysis</strong>An interesting subplot to this transfer “saga” is whether or not Flick actually gets what he wants. It was well-documented that the treble-winning manager valued both Timo Werner and Kai Havertz immensely, but was unable to convince the club’s brass to bring in either player. Werner is already at <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/epl/teams/chelsea">Chelsea</a>, while Havertz also appears to be on the verge of finalizing a deal with the English club.Regardless, Flick’s organizational clout with personnel decisions will be tested again with this move. For Bayern Munich, the club’s brass might want to consider this investment closely. Each of the club’s current first-team wingers has a bit of a sketchy injury history and there is no reason to think that Peri&scaron;i&#263; will not have an important role to play despite the talent ahead of him on the depth chart. In addition, this might be a relatively inexpensive price to pay to give a deserving coach what he wants. Flick’s <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league">Champions League</a>-winning performance alone should merit him the opportunity to have more of a say in the roster composition than he has had thus far.Peri&scaron;i&#263; is 31-years-old and had eight goals and 10 assists in 35 games across all competitions for Bayern Munich during the 2019/2020 campaign.<a href="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/IgfIsIVZzKyI17v3CrYXDMHDMJU=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/21820340/1268079765.jpg.jpg">Paris Saint-Germain v Bayern Munich - UEFA Champions League Final</a> Photo by Miguel A.

Chelsea v Brighton &amp; Hove Albion - Premier LeaguePhoto by Sebastian Frej/MB Media/Getty ImagesLukaku really didn’t want to go to Chelsea and he wants everyone to know about it.In a hilariously frank interview with Sky Sports, Chelsea FC striker Romelu Lukaku has revealed that he never wanted to join the club in the first place. Nope, his actual target after leaving Inter was one of the “top” clubs in his view — either Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, or Bayern Munich. Lukaku only settled for moving to Chelsea because a move to one of those teams wasn’t available.Don’t believe me? The whole thing is on VIDEO. I don’t have that on hand, but here’s a Fabrizio Romano tweet to confirm:Lukaku to Sky: “There are 3 teams at top level: Barcelona, Real, Bayern. All the players dream of them, that's the truth. I thought I was going to one of those clubs after Inter".

"This didn’t happened and I said: there is only one club where I can imagine myself, it's Chelsea”. pic.twitter.com/kZwfdYl4kB— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) December 31, 2021Honestly this one interview has sent sooooooo many mixed messages it’s hard to believe. I mean, just look at this:Lukaku to Sky: “Why was the honeymoon with Inter over? I've been a supporter of Chelsea since I was a kid, it's my favorite team. Then I went to Chelsea at 18 and it wasn’t working - so I always had that Chelsea mission/challenge in my head”. #CFC pic.twitter.com/887Gr10FEW— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) December 31, 2021And then this:Romelu Lukaku to Sky Sport: "If there had been the offer of a new contract from Inter last summer as I wanted... we would not be doing this interview now here from London, but quietly from Milano (he smiles)". #CFC #Inter pic.twitter.com/ma1BNrKhZd— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) December 31, 2021Honestly, it reads like an elaborately crafted troll interview designed to piss off as many fanbases as possible. There are so many different tangents and viewpoints that it’s hard to believe that it all came from a single guy. One moment, Lukaku says he loves Chelsea, the next moment he’s saying that Inter touched his heart and he never would’ve left them. THEN he admits that Inter was only a stepping stone to either Barca, Real, or Bayern. What is up with this guy?Anyway, he’s right in saying that the top three clubs wouldn’t have wanted him this summer. Bayern have Robert Lewandowski and Real have Benzema, both of whom are better players than Lukaku (and don’t make regular inane comments in the media). Meanwhile Barca are broke, so they never could’ve paid the incredible 115m euro transfer fee that the Blues paid to Inter.The reactions to this interview are going to leave social media in flames for the coming few days. I for one, will grab some popcorn.

RB Leipzig would be willing to anchor such a contract option for the midfielder in the contract for the coming year if he is willing to extend it in return.According to <a href="https://www.abendzeitung-muenchen.de/sport/fcbayern/transfer-news-zum-fc-bayern-bayern-legt-wohl-schmerzgrenze-bei-joshua-zirkzee-fest-art-544463">Abendzeitung</a>, RB Leipzig is already looking for Laimer’s replacement:At RB Leipzig, the search for a successor to the Austrian Konrad Laimer has apparently begun. As several media reports unanimously, the management of the cup winner is looking more intensively for a defensive midfielder. Laimer has been associated with FC Bayern for weeks, and <a href="https://thebusbybabe.sbnation.com">Manchester United</a> are also said to be interested.<a href="https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1534869442773012487?s=20&t=dorhKKW-Q1sx99GL0g5nRw">Bayern, Chelsea eyeing Sterling (@iMiaSanMia)</a>According to The Telegraph, Bayern Munich and <a href="https://weaintgotnohistory…

However, the Blues want to recoup the vast majority of the club-record fee they paid just a year earlier, while Inter are short on cash and would prefer a loan deal.Chelsea had originally been asking for around €20m-€25m to loan Lukaku for just one season in an effort to offset any depreciation in his transfer value given he turns 30 next year.

For months, it has been expected that Yann Sommer would receive a handshake, pat on the back, and a thank you for his service to Bayern Munich last season. With Manuel Neuer expected to be back in tow, a transfer for Sommer seemed like the logical next step. Not so fast my friend. Neuer’s comeback has been delayed and the interest that Sommer has received from Inter Milan could be put on the backburner per Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg: More on Yann #Sommer: Should he leave #FCBayern now, a transfer of Mamardashvili is a possibility. But it‘s also a question of the price. ➡️ Bayern bosses are not in a hurry.

The Swiss goalkeeper is certainly good enough to be a starter somewhere else, but Neuer’s delay has put the Bavarians in a tough position. While Giorgi Mamardashvili is said to be interested in Bayern Munich, the situation is going to be tough to navigate until the club gets an idea of what Neuer’s exact issues are and how much more of a delay there might be until he returns.

The most prominent transfer situation is that of Benjamin Pavard, that has been filled with twists and turns. Though it is abundantly clear that Pavard’s time at the club is over, the question of his next destination and the accompanying logistics have puzzled all.Having received interest from <a href="https://thebusbybabe.sbnation.com">Manchester United</a>, <a href="https://bitterandblue.sbnation.com">Manchester City</a>, and <a href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/">Liverpool</a> among several others, Pavard’s next destination seemed to be United for a while — the Red Devils submitted their bid that was promptly rejected by the Bavarians. There are massive expectations as far as money is concerned and the club aren’t keen on selling unless they receive a price that they deem fair.The latest twist to that story was reported by L’Equipe (as transcribed by @iMiaSanMia). <a href="https://www.serpentsofmadonnina.com">Inter Milan</a> are expected to submit an official bid to Bayern for Pavard, however the details of the bid are unknown. As a result, there is truly no way of knowing if the bid will be accepted. However, it is clear that the Frenchman has been considered top-priority by the <em>Nerazzuri</em> and the talks are expected to begin at the soonest. Inter are expected to submit an official bid to Bayern for Benjamin Pavard in the next few hours. It remains to be…

According to a report from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan have agreed to terms on defender Benjamin Pavard. Per Romano, Inter Milan has put together a package that includes €30 million, plus €2 million to €3 million in add-ons. The only hold up in the move going final is that Bayern Munich wants to secure a replacement for Pavard before making it go official. That task could be a little harder than the Bavarians would like: Understand Inter and Bayern have now reached an agreement in principle to sign Benjamin Pavard ⚫️ #Inter

Deal in place for €30m plus €2/3m add ons package, agreed between clubs and player side.

Crucial point remains: Bayern need his replacement to approve the move. pic.twitter.com/VqLqymmsjE— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 21, 2023Pavard’s ability to play capably at both center-back and right-back makes him a very difficult player to replace on the roster. There are not many available players, who can fill such a void adequately. As for Pavard’s situation, it remains to be seen where Inter Milan will play him, but it can be assumed that there was a lengthy discussion about the Frenchman’s desire to play center-back. If Inter Milan was open to that, we can assume it played a major role in things progressing so quickly in recent days.

The Bavarians have had their sights locked on Lille striker Jonathan David, who was the subject of a “transfer hoax” with Inter Milan:I’m told that Jonathan #David is not close to joining #Inter, despite other reports. There are many interested clubs, inquiries, and ongoing talks, but still no final decision. FC Bayern, Inter and many teams from the Premier League remain interested in the 24 y/o top striker from Lille. No transfer in winter is planned. This means he could move for free in the summer of 2025.@SkySportDE– As captured by Sky Sports journo Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal)This doesn’t bode well for Mathys Tel, who is looking more and more likely to leave on loan. Several European clubs are in the running for the young Frenchman.The latest Bavarian Podcast Works Show has dropped!
