Thomas Müller has publicly questioned Bayern Munich's transfer strategy. The veteran wondered why Anthony Gordon did not join the record champions after intense speculation. "Why doesn't Gordon come to us then?" Müller said in a recent video format. This comment comes as Bayern head into the international break following a 5-0 win over Bodo/Glimt, with a mixed recent record of two wins, one draw, and two losses from their last five matches.
Karl shines with assist
In that same match, a promising homegrown talent made his mark. Youngster Lennart Karl provided the assist for Michael Olise's 83rd-minute goal. The attacking player is considered a major jewel internally and could be the next big name from the Bayern academy. His performance highlights the strength of the youth players available to coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Poker for further reinforcements
The discussion around Gordon is just one part of the transfer talks. Alongside the Englishman, a notable Manchester City star and an Irish World Cup hero were also on the shortlist. Bayern's planning for the upcoming windows remains ambitious. At the same time, talks are ongoing about a possible contract extension for sporting director Max Eberl, whose work is valued by the club leadership.
The team can use the break to focus on upcoming challenges. The next match is set for September 20th when the Champions League resumes.
