Bayern Munich are in the running to sign Oleksandr Zinchenko (Arsenal).
The Bavarians will be coached by Vincent Kompany from next season. After parting ways with Thomas Tuchel, the Bavarians were in talks with Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann and others, but all failed and Kompany was the next best option.
Kompany won promotion to the English Premier League (EPL) as Burnley’s manager in the 2022-23 season. This season, he was relegated to 19th place, but was highly regarded by Munich. “I’m looking forward to the challenge,” Kompany said of his appointment. It’s an international club and it’s a challenge for me and for all of us,” he said.
With the appointment in place, the Bavarians are preparing to strengthen their squad in earnest and have targeted Zinchenko. “Munich are pushing for a move for Zinchenko and he could be Kompany’s first signing,” the Mirror reported on Aug. 31.
The left-back joined Arsenal ahead of the 2022-23 season after playing for Manchester City. Zinchenko played a key role for the Gunners, playing more like a midfielder and getting into the center of the attack with his trademark accurate passing. However, this season, he was frequently sidelined by injuries and struggled to compete for a starting role in the second half of the season due to poor defense.
Unsurprisingly, he was linked with a move away from Arsenal and was on Munich’s transfer list. There is also a connection with Kompany. Zinchenko played under Kompany at City for two seasons, starting 카지노사이트 in 2017-18. He knows the player“s characteristics better than anyone else, so he”ll be in a good position to sign him.
Munich are currently preparing for the departure of their starting left-back, Alfonso Davies. Davies’ contract expires next summer, but he has yet to sign a new deal. He has been consistently linked with Real Madrid, and if he leaves, the club will look to Zinchenko to fill the void.
“Zinchenko has seen his playing time diminish due to Arsenal’s change in style and frequent injuries,” the outlet said. Munich are keeping tabs on the likes of Theo Hernandez alongside Zinchenko.”
